[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Unlimited Zoom (#2750)

[Alexey Kutepov]

Hello!

I'm a Twitch streamer and quite often on my streams I need to zoom in the text to a really large size for a better dramatic effect. But unfortunately Scintilla imposes a very strict limitation on zoom factor (from -10 to 20): https://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html#SCI_ZOOMIN

And I don't really know why! If I remove the `SCI_ZOOMIN` limitation condition completely in [Scintilla itself](https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/77630564ad5446df89e9973f74bd378a84fc817e/scintilla/src/Editor.cxx#L3871-L3877) it works just fine and does not degrade the performance or/and the stability of Geany.

Would it be a good idea to remove the `SCI_ZOOMIN` limit completely (or at least dramatically increase it) and put that change into the `scintilla_changes.patch`? If yes, I could make a PR for that myself.
