Zooming

The zooming commands are dependent on two properties—a zoom range and a series of levels within that range.

The absolute value of the page zoom is limited to a value within the configured zoom range (default: 30%–300%). By default, commands which zoom in or out select between the zoom levels, 30%, 50%, 67%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 110%, 120%, 133%, 150%, 170%, 200%, 240%, 300%.

The available zoom range can be changed by setting the zoom.minPercent and zoom.maxPercent &dactyl.host; preferences. The zoom levels can be changed using the toolkit.zoomManager.zoomValues preference.

toolkit.zoomManager.zoomValues is specified as a list of values between 0 and 1 rather than percentages. For instance, 0.5 is equivalent to 50%. + zi]]> countzi

Normally this command operates on the text zoom; if used with !, it operates on full zoom.

Working with frames

:frameo :frameonly :frameonly

Copying text

When running in X11, the text of the following commands is not only copied to the clipboard but is also put into the X11 selection, which can be pasted with the middle mouse button:

<yank-location> y y

Yank current location to the clipboard.

 <yank-word> Y Y

Copy currently selected text to the system clipboard.

Alternate style sheets

Page authors may specify alternate style sheets for an HTML document. Users can then switch between these various style sheets, selecting their favorite. :pagest :pagestyle :pagestyle stylesheet

Select the author style sheet to apply. If stylesheet is not specified the page's default style sheet is used.

All author styling can be removed by setting the usermode option.
