How to increase RStudio editor size?

Tags:

rstudio

In Eclipse, I am able to do Ctrl+M while I am typing in the editor to full-screen the editor and temporarily hide all the side-windows. Is there a way to achieve this in RStudio? The code editor portion of the window is very small and yet I don't feel like manually fiddling with the mouse to resize my console/plots/workspace windows.

The view menu doesn't offer much else than zooming in/out.

How do I increase screen size in RStudio?

The size of text and other RStudio user-interface elements can be adjusted using the Zoom feature. For RStudio Desktop, use the "Zoom In", "Zoom Out", or "Actual Size" commands on the View menu.

How do I change the screen in RStudio?

Just go to “Tools” –> “Global options” –> “Pane layout” and fix it. That's it! Just enjoy your improved RStudio, the program. P.S. It is also very handy to memorize and use the hot keys for panes.

All shortcuts Alt+Shift+K

You can make the editor fill up the entire rstudio window with Ctrl+Shift+1. Also to restore.

To move between the panes, the shortcut is CTRL + number.
1 - source
2 - console

Adding shift to the shortcut makes that pane fill up the spaces.

The best solution I've found is to use a "source window", i.e. pop out the editor into a separate window temporarily:

This window can then be expanded to fill the whole screen:
