flatlanderdox 7 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 So the official Evernote keyboard shortcuts guide says there is a shotcut to increase/decrease font size of selected text. But I have never been able to get that to work. And I know this has been a problem that's existed for some time. Is there any fix for this on the horizon? Thanks! Link to post
spg SCOTT 736 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Hi. This is a shortcut that has been updated/changed/fixed recently but not fixed in the docs it seems. The shortcut to change the font size in the Windows client are: CTRL + + and CTRL + - Scott 1 Link to post
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,065 Posted June 16, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted June 16, 2013 I know this was a Windows thread, but for any Mac lurkers, CMD+ and CMD- work to increase/decrease selected text size. Technically, you can actually just use the "=" key as in CMD= instead of CMD+ since you do NOT have to press the shift key to get the "+" in order to increase size. Link to post
Stephen Hicks 5 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks so much for this. It has been driving my crazy & angry Link to post
Kay La 3 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I know this is for Windows, and the last answer was for Mac, but I use an iPad Air. Pages in my Evernote look really jumbled because I add to them by copy & paste from other documents.Is there a way to change font size on iPad Air? Thanks for any help you can give me. Link to post
Kirby Krieger 72 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Does it help to apply the "Simplify Formatting" command on "jumbled" Notes? Open a Note, tap the ellipsis icon, and select "Simplify Formatting". I don't know a way to change the font size on the iPad. You can try the "out-pinch" gesture to make the current page/frame larger. Link to post
Kay La 3 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yes, Simplify Formating > Make plain text DOES WORK on the iPad Air. ALL TEXT in previously jumbled fonts changes to the same size! THANK YOU!! HOWEVER ... it has chosen to change the text to something like Roman, I greatly prefer something like Arial. I hope you can suggest a way to change the font style on iPad Air.I really appreciate your help. Link to post
huaTham 5 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Since version 6.5 it seems that Evernote has removed these shortcuts. PLEASE BRING THESE SHORTCUTS BACK. The font size shortcuts (CMD+, CMD-) have been so convenient that I find it annoying now that I can't change font size that easily. There is no reason to remove them in the first place. Thank you! 2 Link to post

chemie 17 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 @JMichaelTX- I updated to 6.5 yesterday and can confrim that Shift has to been pressed on 2015 MBPro. CMD < without shift opens preferences. Technically you can not type <> without shift key anyways. Link to post

CMD < without shift opens preferences. Technically you can not type <> without shift key anyways. Of course the SHIFT key has to be pressed, on *some* keyboards, to get either "<" or ">". On others it does not. So, the correct statement for the shortcut is still "⌘> ", since, as you say: "Technically you can not type <> without shift key anyways." That will work on ALL keyboards.

You can find it at the link below, I recommend directing your question there so we can keep the Mac Help thread focused on the Mac version of EN. Thanks! https://discussion.evernote.com/forum/225-windows-desktop-help/ Link to post
wsplibra 0 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 These shortcuts only work for font sizes 9-15 ⌘> Increase font size ⌘< Decrease font size Anyone else have this problem? Link to post
verraquera 0 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 For me I can increase and decrease text size but if I go below 11, I can only toggle between 10 and 11 and am locked in to those two options Link to post
vrwired 0 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 ⌘-Shift > used to work for me on Mac. However, since upgrading to Catalina (10.15.3), I believe since then, it no longer works. In fact, I still have the previous grade (Mohave - v10.14.6) to Catalina on another mac of mine, and testing ⌘-Shift > on that machine, it works fine. Link to post
