On my Microsoft Surface Pro 3 laptop with a relatively high resolution screen, the recommended font scaling is 150% (see below). With the latter approach, application developers adjust font sizes before the text is drawn onto the screen, and this preserves perfect text clarity. While the first approach is simpler for application developers, stretching causes blurring of the application content, and this becomes quite pronounced with higher degrees of scaling. This font scaling can be achieved in one of two ways: for applications that aren't "DPI aware" (like Delphi's IDE), the OS stretches the application content onto the screen alternatively, applications can do their own font (and image) scaling internally. Because of this, PCs with higher pixel density screens commonly apply font scaling (by a fixed percentage specified in Windows Setup). Keyboard shortcuts are fully customizable to your own key strokes and compound key assignments are also supported (eg 'Shift+Ctrl+W+W').Īs computer screens improve and pixel densities continue to rise, fonts that are based on a 'normal' resolution of 96dpi will appear smaller on screens with relatively high pixel densities. IDE Font adjustment: Essential if you're making the IDE DpiAware (see below).Rescale forms and all contained controls: Ctrl+Alt+Z (when viewing forms in Text View).Calc at your fingertips whenever you need it. Bookmark Editing: Ctrl+Shift+F5, so you no longer have to gab your mouse.For larger units this dialog is much more responsive than the edit controls in the Navigation bar. Procedure/Function navigation dialog: Ctrl+Alt+L.
Quick Searching: Ctrl+Alt+Up and Ctrl+Alt+Down navigates to previous and following occurrences of the word under the cursor (with extended highlighting).Open sourced freeware Delphi IDE extension.
