How to zoom text in netbeans without mousewheel? - netbeans

If your mouse is all right, you can easily alter the font size in netbeans using mousewheel. Unfortunatelly, my mousewheel is broken and returns random values when scrolled.
I just happened to accidentally zoom text out with that broken wheel. I want back the default zoom - but doing this using the mouse might take eternity. I tried Ctrl++ and Ctrl+0 (as in browsers) but that didn't work.
Can this be done? Can it be done easily?

Go to Tools|Options|Keymap and look for "Zoom text in" and "Zoom text out". You can assign it any shortcut you want

Get rid of black blinking cursor [duplicate]

When I edit code in the middle of statements, it replaces the current code around it. I cannot find a way to replace this with a normal cursor that only inserts data instead of replacing it. Is that functionality possible in Eclipse?
The problem is also identified in your status bar at the bottom:
You are in overwrite mode instead of insert mode.
The “Insert” key toggles between insert and overwrite modes.
It sounds like you hit the "Insert" key .. in most applications this results in a fat (solid rectangle) cursor being displayed, as your screenshot suggests. This indicates that you are in overwrite mode rather than the default insert mode.
Just hit the "insert" key on your keyboard once more... it's usually near the 'delete' (not backspace), scroll lock and 'Print Screen' (often above the cursor keys in a full size keyboard.)
This will switch back to insert mode and turn your cursor into a vertical line rather than a rectangle.
You might have pressed 0 (also used for insert, shortcut INS) key, which is on the right side of your right scroll button. To solve the problem, just press it again or double click on 'overwrite'.
This problem, in my case, wasn't related to the Insert key. It was related to Vrapper being enabled and editing like Vim, without my knowledge.
I just toggled the Vrapper Icon in Eclipse top bar of menus and then pressed the Insert Key and the problem was solved.
Hopefully this answer will help someone in the future.
In my case, it's related to the Toggle Vrapper Icon in the Eclipse.
If you are getting the bold black cursor, then the icon must be enabled. So, click on the Toggle Vrapper Icon to disable. It's located in the Eclipse's Toolbar. Please see the attached image for the clarity.
This issue can happen not only in eclipse but also in any of the text-editor.
On windows systems, windows-10 in my case, this issue arose when the shift and insert key was pressed in tandem unintentionally which takes the user to the overwrite mode.
To get back to insert mode you need to press shift and insert in tandem again.

VSCode Zoom in on .png

Is there a way to zoom in on an image in VSCode (.png in particular)? My repository contains some very small images, and I would like to view them without opening another application. I thought that the FontSize shortcuts plugin might be a workaround, but unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work.
As of VS Code 1.36 it's very easy:
To zoom in, just click on the picture. When the mouse is over it, the cursor becomes a magnifying glass with a small "+".
To zoom out, press Ctrl and click on it. While Ctrl is pressed, the cursor changes to a magnifying glass with a small "-".
Alternatively, the status bar in the lower-right corner displays some info about the picture, and one of the fields shows "100%": it's the current zoom level, just click on it and choose another one.
On my mac OS Mojave, I need to use
press down option + click on the image works if I want to zoom out.

Stop Layout Options icon appearing by default on callouts in Word 2013

This is driving me mad! I love the new layout options in Word 2013, but when a callout gets to a certain size the icon for it obscures the end of the arrow, and you can't move the arrow:
Don't suppose anyone knows either how to get rid of the icon, how to click and drag on the yellow end of the arrow, or how to stop the icon appearing in the first place?
Thanks in advance.
Here are two answers that helped me. The second option gets rid of the floating Layout Options button, but at the cost of disabling some features of Word 2013.
First Option:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/any-way-to-disable-the-layout-options-button/47f6af4a-2acd-483e-a953-6415c8530554
It might help to increase the zoom (use the slider at the right end of the status bar) while you work with the picture.
Second Option:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/layout-options-icon-word-2013-suddenly-missing/ce304589-9db2-44c5-b1e1-8fd6596b70c4
Is the document in Compatibility Mode (shown by those words appearing in the title bar along with the document name)? If that's the case, click File and then click the Convert button. That will make the Layout Options button appear when a picture is selected, as well as turning on other features that are available only in the 2013 format. When you save, the document file will change to the .docx extension.
I know the second quote is about turning the Layout Options button on, but it works backwards, too. I saved my file as a *.doc instead of a *.docx and the floating button went away.
When you're finished editing your callouts, you can save it again as a *.docx.
One method that helped me was to flip horizontal, change the leader position, then flip back. That way the leader line is temporarily on the opposite side of the layout button, and both handles of the leader line are accessible, then can flip back. It is an extra step, but is another alternative.
In an attempt to automate this to quickly flip the object back and forth, I couldn't find a macro command to make a shortcut, or anything under Customize Ribbon with custom Keyboard Shortcuts to Flip Horizontal (MoreRotationOption opens up a dialog which does not give an option to flip).
The Flip Horizontal command could be called by pressing ALT JD (Format) AY (Rotate Objects) H (Horizontal) when the object is selected...
The best I could do was to add Rotate Objects to the Quick Access Toolbar, then the Flip Horizontal command could be called by pressing ALT # (whatever number you assign) H (Horizontal) which is three keystrokes.

Does anyone know how to zoom in on NetBeans code?

I want to enlarge the code I've written in NetBeans so it's easier to read. I can enlarge the output by using ctrl and '+', but it doesn't work on the code. Does anyone know how to do this?
Alt+Scroll Wheel (on mouse) will do it. If you want to change the font size, go to Tools>Options>Fonts&Colors [note: this is a large icon/tab]. From there, in the Syntax tab (default) click Default, then the '...' button next to Font. Change the font size here, and click Okay. Other fonts inherit this size, so that should be the only change.
Happy coding!
press { ALT (your keyboard) + Scroll wheel (your mouse) };
NetBeans 7.2 changes the behaviour slightly – now you need to initiate a press down click on the scroll wheel whilst scrolling to increase/decrease the font size. No keyboard assistance required!

Just press "alt" and scrool and normally it's oke
Visit here and download the zooming plugin.
Steps to Install Plugin:
Open Tools

Goto Available Plugins Tab
Search for Zoom and install the plugin
Restart NetBeans
If you want to zoom In/Out the code file /source window use this below method.
press Alt key+ scroll Mouse wheel up for Zoom In and scroll Mouse wheel down for Zoom Out
If you want to zoom In/Out the output window/terminal use this below method.

Lots of "mouse driven" answers here. But not everyone uses a mouse anymore. To Zoom In/Out of the Output Window of Netbeans 11.x do this, it's simple.
Press Ctrl while pressing the Arrow Up (to zoom in) and Arrow Down (to zoom in) keys on your keyboard.

How can I scroll left and right in Eclipse editor with the keyboard without moving the cursor?

To scroll within the Eclipse editor without moving the cursor up and down one can use CTRL+Down or CTRL+Up. But what about left and right?
It is not possible. If you search keys in Eclipse's Preferences, you will find out that you only have Scroll up and Scroll down that you can set hotkeys on.
My recommendation would be changing the maximum line length in the editor.
Make your code shorter. After all, looooong lines of code are not so readable.
Also, resize your editor area. If you feel strangled, remove the Outline, TaskList, and Build view from your right side of Eclipse, and enlarge the editor.
