Changes

  • Add Ctrl++/Ctrl+=, Ctrl+-, and Ctrl+0 shortcuts plus output-pane context-menu controls for 50–200% terminal zoom.
  • Rebuild actual font/cell metrics and resize the terminal grid so pane layout and NAWS follow the new size.
  • Handle zoom while native and floating editors have focus, without inserting shortcut text.
  • Reuse font renderers across repeated zoom levels and invalidate cached drawing when metrics change.

Zoom is local to the current window. Reset restores the launch font size; --font-size still selects the startup size. This does not alter historical server-supplied image layout.

Validation

  • Full Release solution build passed. Existing CS8602 warning in ListEditorTests remains.
  • All 6,115 tests passed: Core 1,720; Client 245; Graphics 99; Scripting 92; Web 37; Tui 3,015; Avalonia 907.
  • Added regression coverage for grid resizing/reset, display scaling, unchanged-frame repaint, bounds, native-editor shortcuts, and native composer usability at 50%/200%.
  • Inspected headless native tabs/composer screenshots at both zoom limits.
  • Changelog and diff checks passed.

No merge or deployment is included.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Adjust terminal text size from 50% to 200% in 10% increments using keyboard shortcuts or the right-click menu, and reset to the launch size.
    • Use Ctrl+= or Ctrl++ to zoom in, Ctrl+- to zoom out, and Ctrl+0 to reset.
    • Zoom resizes the terminal grid without resizing the window and reports updated dimensions for each pane.
    • Zoom applies only to the current window and lasts until it closes; --font-size continues to set the startup size.

Walkthrough

The terminal view adds 50%–200% zoom controls, keyboard shortcuts, and menu actions. Zoom changes renderer scaling and terminal grid dimensions. Main and floating windows attach zoom-key handling. Tests cover rendering, resizing, shortcut handling, and zoom limits.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Zoom scaling and grid resizing
src/SharpMUTerm.Avalonia/TerminalView.cs, tests/SharpMUTerm.Avalonia.Tests/TerminalZoomTests.cs, tests/SharpMUTerm.Avalonia.Tests/NativeComposerTests.cs
The terminal view caches renderers by display scale and zoom percentage, updates cell metrics, and resizes the grid when bounds are available. Tests cover grid resizing, repainting, and native composer layout at 50% and 200% zoom.
Zoom shortcuts and menu actions
src/SharpMUTerm.Avalonia/WindowHost.cs, src/SharpMUTerm.Avalonia/MainWindow.cs, src/SharpMUTerm.Avalonia/FloatingPanels.cs, src/SharpMUTerm.Avalonia/TerminalView.cs, tests/SharpMUTerm.Avalonia.Tests/TerminalZoomTests.cs, tests/SharpMUTerm.Avalonia.Tests/TerminalViewTests.cs, CHANGELOG.md
Main and floating windows attach zoom-key handling. Reserved Ctrl-based shortcuts change or reset zoom, generated shortcut text is suppressed, and the pointer menu includes zoom actions. Tests cover focus, bounds, menu state, and ordinary input. The changelog describes the range, reset behavior, grid and per-pane NAWS resizing, and window-only duration.

Zooming with a composer already open can leave its text at the old size. The change is otherwise mergeable with this bounded issue tracked for follow-up.

Explanation

The title "Add live terminal zoom controls to the desktop window" matches the main change. The changeset adds zoom from 50% to 200% with keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl++, Ctrl+-, Ctrl+0) and menu actions in the desktop Avalonia terminal view, and the objectives describe the same feature. The title is concise, specific, and does not use vague terms.

Resolved the merge conflict with #122 in 7630c8c. Zoom keeps the measured image-cell update before resizing the grid, so image sizing and NAWS use the new font metrics. Added regression assertions for image-cell dimensions after zoom and reset at display scales 1.0, 1.25, and 1.5.

Release build, six full suites, and all seven focused zoom cases passed. The full Avalonia run reported a modal-panel test failure; that test passed in isolation. The previous Windows dictionary-offer/font failure also passed in isolation on Linux, which does not establish a Windows fix. New-head CI is running. GitHub now reports this PR mergeable; it has not been merged.

Review comments at @src/SharpMUTerm.Avalonia/TerminalView.cs:
- Around line 366-389: Add a test using a FloatingPanelWindow that sends one
Ctrl++ press and asserts zoom changes from 100% to 110%. Exercise the OnKeyDown
forwarding path and verify the press is not applied twice.
- Around line 328-345: Refresh the open composer’s font metrics when the zoom
changes the cell metrics by calling ComposerView.ApplyFont in the zoom-update
flow. Preserve the composer’s selected font face, and avoid reapplying or
resetting it when the cell metrics have not changed.

Review comments at @src/SharpMUTerm.Avalonia/WindowHost.cs:
- Around line 25-34: Add a cross-list test comparing all seven entries in
WindowHost.Zoom with ZoomFor, including each chord’s action and matching
key/modifier semantics. Account for the different key types by testing OEM and
arithmetic keys through the appropriate mapping or comparison path rather than
relying on KeyMapper.FromKeyDown, which does not map them.

Review comments at @tests/SharpMUTerm.Avalonia.Tests/NativeComposerTests.cs:
- Line 40: Update the zoom test around OpenF1 to open the composer before
changing zoom, apply a different zoom, then restore the target zoom before
checking the composer and tabs. Verify the composer remains open and usable
after the live zoom changes.

Addressed all four current review items in e151c38: fixed stale font metrics in an already-open composer, and added live-composer, floating-window input and reserved-chord regression coverage.

Release build and six full suites passed. All 14 focused zoom cases passed on the final changes. The full Avalonia run passed 915/916, with the same modal-panel test failure observed before these edits; it is separate from the reviewed paths. Both Linux and Windows CI passed on 7630c8c. CI for the new head is pending. No SharpConsoleUI changes and no merge.
