Hi.

You can use Control key + mouse scroll wheel for instant resizing. 
For a permanent setup take a look in the File->Options menu.

Regards,
Fernando.

That makes it a little difficult for me. The Logitech Marble Mouse
doesn't have a scroll wheel.

You do understand that you can set it in the Options dialog without the
mousewheel?

Yes, but the ability to change it on the fly is much more useful that a
static setting.

Sure. If you know a better UI, we can probably make that happen. Now
that I think of it, Ctrl-+ and Ctrl-- would be great candidate. Would
that be better for you?

Absolutely, and more memorable as well, since Firefox already taught me
those keystrokes for that very effect.

And some editors and terminal too (gnome's terminal for once). I'll see
if it's not already used.

Bob, I was going to suggest you get rid of that weird mouse of yours but it wont be necessary as Ctrl-+ and Ctrl-- already work as suggested. At least in v1.14.0 it does.

I don't see it working on Linux. What OS are you on?

Don't even think about it. The Marble Mouse is the only decent trackball
I have ever found that works well with the left hand. That frees up my
right hand to wield a pencil while I am working. I prefer the track ball
because it doesn't require acres of free space on the desk next to the
keyboard and can even be used sitting on my knee.

ofa SQL Query window fails to grow its row size vertically. So the larger font is clipped and unreadable. 

Strangely, the Control+Mouse-ball-down works in the output pane! Both the font *and* the row height increase. Thanks
forthe tip on that mouse trick -- it is a workaround for this fixed-row-height bug. This makes demonstrating Postgres
toan audience much easier.

I reported this bug in another thread (subject below). I just updated that thread with the above link to a screenshot.

Thank you, it's useful! And I do not noticed that changing the font on
query tool affects to the sql pane.
