Make Visual Studio Zoom with Font Sizer
We’re on a little bit of a Font roll here on Extension Monday, last week with our Adding Fire to your Coding with Fira Code Font post and then this week’s extension from Karl Shifflett (Yes, that Karl Shifflett)
Font Sizer
Visual Studio 2017 Extension for easily changing the font sizes in the editor or environment.
Credits
I learned a lot from this outstanding extension. Essentially, I updated for VS 2017 and added environment font size changing. Sam Harwell gets all the credit for the hard work. https://github.com/tunnelvisionlabs/PresentationMode
Features
Quickly change the editor’s font sizes or the environment’s font size.
Recommend assigning shortcut keys to each of the 4 commands. These are the commands I use:
- CTRL + Num Pad Arrow Up = Increase editor font sizes
- CTRL + Num Pad Arrow Down = Decrease editor font sizes
- CTRL + Num Pad Arrow Right = Increase environment font size
- CTRL + Num Pad Arrow Left = Increase environment font size
Change Editor Font Size
Each time the respective Editor increase font size or decrease font size command is invoked the following changes are made:
And of course it’s open source, https://github.com/Oceanware/FontSizer 🙂

- Seeing Experience from Many Angles: Educational Game Design as a Data-Informed Craft
-
Increasingly, educational games have become an established part of the instructional landscape, however designing a compelling and effective instructional game remains a challenge. One of the reasons for this challenge is that game players are afforded some agency to craft their own experiences, making it difficult to anticipate the kinds of experiences they might have. Further, when designing with an instructional intent the goal is to make a lasting impact on players’ knowledge, which is invisible to designers. …
- Streaming Lower Bounds for Approximating MAX-CUT
-
We consider the problem of estimating the value of MAX-CUT in a graph in the streaming model of computation. We show that there exists a constant $\e_* > 0$ such that any randomized streaming algorithm that computes a $(1+\e_*)$-approximation to MAX-CUT requires $\Omega(n)$ space on an $n$ vertex graph. By contrast, there are algorithms that produce a $(1+\e)$-approximation in space $O(n/\e^2)$ for every $\e > 0$. Our result is…

Modern enterprises collect data from their operations and the web, and strongly depend on the collected data to make important decisions.

The need for urgent collective action to keep people safe online: Lessons from last week’s cyberattack
Early Friday morning the world experienced the year’s latest cyberattack. Starting first in the United Kingdom and Spain, the malicious “WannaCrypt” software quickly spread globally, blocking customers from their data unless they paid a ransom using Bitcoin. The WannaCrypt exploits used in the attack were drawn from the exploits stolen from the National Security Agency, or NSA, in the United States. That theft was publicly reported earlier this year. A … Read more »
