#fedibrain This is a question about an annoying client for a questionable server, but bear with me. One of my kids was messing about with Schildichat on Ubuntu 22.04 and somehow zoomed the window to unreadably tiny. They think they were using ctrl-minus. They cannot undo it. Ctrl-plus has no effect. Nor does ctrl-r, shift-ctrl-plus, or anything else I could think of. It persists across programme termination, reboots, etc.

Question 1: is there an obvious way to fix this with keystrokes?

If not, then...

Question 2: Schildichat is an ElectronJS glorblet, or whatever it's properly called when you forcefeed users all that extra guff. I hunted around in .config/SchildiChat to see if I could find where it stored persistent values for screen magnification but couldn't find anything obvious, or anything that I could edit with useful results. If there is one among you with the cursed knowledge of that webapp framework...where might I look?

And yes, we are trying to migrate away from matrix. As an #actuallyAutistic family various among us often go mute and need to use a chat server to communicate. We moved from Mattermost to Matrix several years ago, and I will probably just go back to XMPP rather than deal with self-hosting "new" matrix. But I haven't got time to do that migration right now.

@yetiinabox stupid thought: is plus shifted on your keyboard? if so, try ctrl-shift-plus?

@yetiinabox the usual reset zoom shortcut is Ctrl-0 (zero).

also https://stackoverflow.com/a/46531240

As a last resort delete the whole .config/SchildiChat subdirectory and set up the account anew.

Where does Electron save previous zoom?

Electron appears to remember what the zoom factor when restarting the app - where is this saved? I want to be able to reset this. Thanks!
