Change font size of the help tab/documentation in Rstudio

rstudio

Solution

Holding down cntr/shift/(=/+) keys will make all Rstudio panels larger, including the help panel. Use cntr/(-/_) keys to reduce.

If using 10 key keypad it is just control and either the + or the - key.

Note that these functions are independent of font setting that you listed in your OP. You can then change that font setting to down a notch or two after you get your help panel where you like it.

EDIT: based on a comment from @42- it appears that on a MAC, it would be the command with + or -.

Problem

Is there a way to change the font size of the text shown in the `help` tab of `Rstudio`? I know it's possible to change the font size in all panels at Tools > Global > Options > Appearance , but it doesn't change the font size in the `help` tab. EDIT: I understand the answer will be OS specific. I'm personally using Windows but I'm sure others using a different OS would appreciate answers that address their needs as well
