I don’t remember changing any settings where the UI and text get enlarged. How do I make it go back to the default sizing? I would appreciate the help.
Think this is more a VSCode setting but I do this in my settings.json (Cmd + Shift + P to open the command palette, “Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)”:
And then I set:
{
...
"window.zoomLevel": -1,
...
}
(To make the default base zoom smaller)
It’s basically the same as pressing Cmd + or Cmd - to zoom in / zoom out, except it stays that way by default.
Hi Jchase! Thank you for the response. I did try the Cmd +/- earlier but the issue is not the zoom but something to do with the enlargement of the text and elements. When I do Cmd - it basically zooms out everything even the size of the window width. Please let me know if there’s a different solution.
Hi @laheri ,
I noticed the font-size in Chat code snippets seemed to get larger recently as well.
For reference, here are the only controls I am aware of that effect font size in Cursor.
-
Mousewheel zoom enables increase or decrease in Editor font size (independent of overall Zoom setting)
-
Zoom enables increase or decrease in overall zoom
The Ctrl + L Chat and Ctrl + I (Composer) is effected by the Zoom setting.
It would be nice if you could adjust font-size in Chat code snippets.
It would also be nice if you could move Chat and Composer to another screen so the Editor area was distraction free and it was given more screen real estate etc.
Both font-size and the ability to have Composer and Chat on another screen have been mentioned previously on the forum, eg:
