There does not appear to be any way to change/scale the font size (content scale) in Xcode’s built-in documentation viewer.
I tried various possibilities:
- command-+
- command--
- Edit -> Format -> Font -> Bigger
- Edit -> Format -> Show Fonts
- The context menu brings up nothing useful when used on the content of the documentation window (although, interestingly, when I select “Developer Documentation Help” from the context menu, the help window does support the command-+/- commands to scale the content).
- I found nothing relevant under the View or Editor menus, either.
So, does anyone have a trick for this?
So far, I’ve come up with opening the documentation in a web browser (which is missing: dark mode, direct open from the IDE, and the navigation sidebar), or using the Accessibility “Zoom” functionality (which is a hassle because of needing to switch back-and-forth when going between the editor and documentation, which happens quite frequently at times). Finally, there’s opening the documentation on an external monitor that is set to a scaled resolution (something I can’t do most of the time these days as I’m mostly just on my MacBook).
Dear Apple: Please fix this.
P.S.: Please also let us set the quick documentation popup font size/scale.
P.P.S.: Please also let us set the rest of the UI font sizes (Inspectors and Navigator side bars, toolbar/window-header, etc.)
Apple touts its dynamic-type handling for accessibility (which is quite good and useful), but doesn’t actually implement it in Xcode itself?
