Butwhat if your source font is an Italic and your target font family only comprises a Regular font? Should it silently map to Regular or should it throw an error? What if your source font is a BoldItalic and your target font family only comprises Regular, Italic and Bold? Should it map to Italic or to Bold, or should it throw an error?

Or think of all the extra weights like Ultra, Black, Heavy, Medium, Semibold, Light, ExtraLight, Thin which only exist in fully-developed font families. I your source font is Myriad Pro Light und you are mapping to Helvetica Neue then you are lucky, since there is a Helvetica Neue Light, but in many cases a mapping would be impossible.


Tom, I'm no expert here, but I believe one of the benefits of truetype fonts is the ability to apply a style for which an explicit variation is not provided. IAC, somehow for years MS Word has supported applying the styles (B, I, etc) to text of any font.


At the same time, most fonts do offer the standard variants: bold, italics, etc.

It would be very nice if KM would allow the selection of a new base font, and keep the styles of the current clipboard. So, if I copied helvetica bold italic, I could change to verdana, and it would retain the bold italic.


Available in LabVIEW 2018 and later. The Ctrl-B, Ctrl-I, and Ctrl-U shortcuts now bold, italicize, and underline text, respectively. This behavior only occurs while a text field is being edited. Otherwise, these keyboard shortcuts maintain their normal behavior.


It would be nice if you could change a selected font style by using the standard windows (MS office) shortcuts, such as CTRL-B for bold and CTRL-U for underline. This would save many mouse clicks.


I'm really surprised this idea hasn't received more kudos. One of the *first* things I noticed when I started programming with LabVIEW almost 11 years ago was the lack of Ctrl-B/I/U keystrokes to bold/italicize/underline selected text. Come on, people! Kudo this one!


If you were mucking about with something like ctrl+d, which I pretty much never use and which few people it seems knows exist, I'd be fine. But you're suggesting changing three of the shortcuts I use most, and there aren't any other keys still availble. What operations would lose their shortcut?


I like the idea of standard text formatting shortcuts, don't get me wrong. But something just seems fishy about having different context actions for the same shortcut. The documentation on the LabVIEW Quick Reference Card would become a little more squirelly, "This means this here, but this means that there...." which can be a fundamental UI SNAFU.


Yeah, I read that. Didn't like it so much... it wouldn't save me much time. I am rarely using LV as a text editor. Usually I'm selecting all the controls on my FP and changing the font of everything, and a ctrl+b to make everything bold face would actually be useful when I'm trying to magnify a front panel for display in a presentation.


Right now the keyboard layout still shows the default English (US) qwerty layout, even though the text shows up correctly. So my question is, what font (and in which directory) does Ubuntu used for creating the "Show Keyboard Layout" for a particular input method (or language)? (On Windows there are two programs that can modify the keyboard layout: Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator and Keyman Developer). Another example, if I switch to a thai keyboard, this is what it shows up thai key and for a modify german keyboard. Hopefully these examples make it clear.


I'm not aware of any equivalent to "Show Keyboard Layout" to visualize an input method. For many input methods, which need a series of key presses to get the desired character, that wouldn't make sense anyway.


See if this helps.I created an onscreen keyboard layout for my language by customizing onboard.Install onboard.In onboard settings - layout - select the layout which you want to convert - then select new - give nameSelect open layout folder - open the *.onboard file with text editor.


Bottom row is AA no need to edit this, one above is AB , AB1 is z (ignore the Font can be changed in onboard settings / preferences - theme - customize theme - labels.Onboard can be used to type after changing keyboard layout to the desired language in top menu or by shortcut key


I can select existing text, chose any font and it will change to that font. But as soon as I type something, that newly typed text will again be in Times New Roman. (Existing text remains unaffected, I can type right in the middle of a word and the new letters will be Times New Roman, while the letters before and after remain whater font was selected before.)


I tried searching online, but I could only find plenty of people who are asking how to configure a default font or how to change fonts, but nothing related to my problem. It might be buried somewhere under all the unrelated search results, though.


This question seems somewhat relevant, as I am using a German keyboard layout on an English OS and English Office, but it's about Word 2011 on Mac. The "Match font with keyboard" option mentioned in this answer doesn't seem to exist in my version of Word.


The reports I have found were specifically for that combination of languageand the German keyboard, but this bug might possibly happen with other languages.I can only theorize that it relates to some mishandling in Word of sucha language/keyboard combination.


In my case, it really is about the 'input method' (in MS windows, not just MS word), i.e. English (Germany) is causing the problem. Switching to German (Germany) sorts it out - also while editing 'English' text in Word.


I was thinking of making a keyboard shortcut to increase/decrease font size for editor. So far I have been thinking about using ShortcutRecorder for specific key press event and when it is triggered we would increase 'style.editor.fontSize' from Setting.ts.


I have been waiting for the ... Hopefully your shortcut would work for the markdown AND the wys editor. The zoom commands already available in Joplin do not really help as they do change all fonts in the windows, including the notes list and the sidebar. Both become quickly useless if you play with zoom.


hey @roman_r_m I was thinking about making a plugin for this but while reading Plugin API I found out that it doesn't allow accessing Joplin's built in setting. Currently this API does not provide access to Joplin's built-in settings.

So my question is will it be possible to access 'Editor Font Size' from this API if not how would I go about making this plugin?


We could accept this feature but you'd need to explain, at a high level, how it will be implemented. For example, we can't have shortcuts without associated menu items, so we need to know where would the items go. Will the feature applies to both editors or just one of them; what commands, if any, will be created, etc.


For this feature I think my focus will be implementing this into CodeMirror only.

I will have to create 1 or 2 command/s which takes care of both increasing/decreasing font size.

As these commands will be on Editor's Toolbar they will be declared in editorCommandDeclarations.ts and implementation will be in CodeMirror.ts.

Basic pseudo code:

increaseEditorFontSize: ()=> Setting['style.editor.fontSize'] + 1 decreaseEditorFontSize: ()=> Setting['style.editor.fontSize'] - 1

I will also have to add shortcuts for this into KeymapService.ts

(I was curious about how I would change font size from Setting instance because even if I manually changed 'style.editor.fontSize' in Setting.ts it doesn't work)


Testing:

For now I have this basic idea that we will first store current value of editor font size in a variable and then call the method (e.g. increaseEditorFontSize) 'n' times. Then we will compare the incremented font size value with stored value after adding 'n' to it.


In my mind it should have two different settings here (like Atom) - the default font size should remain as a default and the "font size adjust" should be only for that session (or at least easily resettable to the default (like Obsidian) - Atom uses ctrl + +/-/0 shortcuts as well as ctrl + scroll.


Not entirely relevant to this feature but it would also be nice if we could use the same gesture to zoom in on the rendered output and richtext editors as you would with a webpage (action dependant on which pane the cursor is over at the time)


Dear community,



I need to create a Survey by using a draft word document. In the word document are the necessary questions for the Survey. I have set in General, in the look&feel function, a specific font style with specific colour and font size. I hoped that the whole survey would overtake these settings. But when I copied the questions from the word document in qualtrics the font style and size unfortunately changed. And also when I jumped into the translation window. Also the translated text lost the default font style and size. My only idea was to edit each question with the rich content editor to get the needed font style and size but this costs a lot of time and is not really user friendly. Is there any other possibility to adjust the font style and size as a whole?



Thanks a lot for your help!

CWolle,

When you copy and paste question text from Word into Qualtrics it copies styles (unless you paste in HTML View). If you go to HTML View you'll probably see bunch of html along with your text. That html is overriding your Qualtrics theme. Click 'Remove Formatting' which will get rid of all the HTML. The questions will then be formatted using your Qualtrics theme.
