Need help: Change SciTE editor font size

[JohnJF]

I would like to change the SciTE editor (in AutoIt3) to use bigger font. Can this be done? If so, how to do it?

I don't see menu settings for this and it is not clear from the search results.

Thanks a lot for help!

JohnF,

I don't see menu settings for this and it is not clear from the search results.

First you need to have an AU3 script open before you'll see the menu options.

Now click the Options menu item and look for SciTEConfig or just press Ctrl+1 to open the SciTE configuration window.

Near the bottom of that window is a section for the font and sizes etc for the editor. You can change the font here.

To change the font size on the fly (not permanently) press Ctrl and use the scroll wheel of your mouse to enlarge / reduce the font size.

I cannot see the config option item (with .au3 file open), my screen shot is attached. Did I miss something?

Cool, this works!

You search in the wrong menu for "SciTe Config" -> check "Tools".

Still don't see it, see attached screen shot.

Another try:

Just tried the key combo, still does not work - nothing happened, no pop up windows. Can you verify this works for you? The following is the version I have:

Another try:

Please press Ctrl + 1, wait a bit and the "SciTe Config for AutoIt3 .." window should appear. Select the "Tools Selection" Tab and check all the tools you want to see on the tools menu (I select all).

[water]

The problem is, that you can remove the SciTe Config tool from the menu and then the shortcut no longer works.

Please try this:

Start "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTEConfig\SciteConfig.exe".

On the tools Tab select all Tools and set the font size on Tab "General settings".

To get the best from SciTe and AutoIt I would download the full SciTe version from the specified site.

[JohnJF]

I don't have the config exe file. I guess it is not the full version editor, will download another and try it out. Thanks for the quick help!

Now verified - it works with the full version. The tools menu also seem to have several new debug features. Would pass this to any new users - get a new editor: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/downloads.shtml if you have not done so :-)
