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
Then, you can further adjust the font of code window, console, terminal, environment, and history panels via Tools >> Global Options >> Appearance >> Editor font size. Presumably you'd up the everything with Ctrl+"+" and then decrease the size of the font size in appearance.
Change the size of selected text Select the text or cells with text you want to change. To select all text in a Word document, press Ctrl + A. On the Home tab, click the font size in the Font Size box.
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 -.
You can go in Tools > Global Options > General > Advance tab > Help panel font size: There you can set your preferred font size
