Allow scaling of the MicroBlocks UI (or at least the blocks)

[Turgut Guneysu]

Hi John,

This might have been there from before, I never checked it !

When I use windows' mouse command CTR-scroll key on the mouse, the windows content usually scales up/down depending on wheel direction.

This feature is not active in microBlocks editor. Thus, blocks (json related) displaying long lines of info vertically do not fit the screen.

Likewise, viewing large programs with many blocks is also cumbersome due to the same reason.

As a solution suggestion, MIT App Inventor program has a great way to scale the editor area using the mouse. The microBlocks Browser version also does NOT scale the screen with the mouse, but since the Chrome Zoom feature is working, it is possible to get around the problem quickly.

Any way to make the stand-alone IDE mouse scroll responsive ?

Yes, I’d like to add a blocks scaling feature. It’s on the list of things to do after we get 1.0 released.

Closing because it’s fixed in the upcoming version :)
