Changing font size in urxvt
I finally had the need to dynamically change my font size in urxvt. If you
search you will find keybindings to do this, such as the ones
recommended in
this thread
. With my teeny planck keyboard,
i3
, and
tmux
I don't really
have room in my head for learning other keybindings.
In that thread there is also a
printf
command that changes the font size via
a terminal escape code.
alias biggest="printf '\33]50;%s\007' \"xft:Source Code Pro:pixelsize=30\""
alias big="printf '\33]50;%s\007' \"xft:Source Code Pro:pixelsize=20\""
alias small="printf '\33]50;%s\007' \"xft:Source Code Pro:pixelsize=10\""
alias teeny="printf '\33]50;%s\007' \"xft:Source Code Pro:pixelsize=8\""
alias normal="printf '\33]50;%s\007' \"xft:Source Code Pro:pixelsize=12\""
I added the above aliases to my
zshrc
.
