While we are using mouse zoom, a popup appears containing the current font size on the left and a link to reset to the original font size on the right. Now we can use Command+Mouse Wheel (on Mac) or Control+Mouse Wheel (on Windows/Linux) to zoom in or out.

Click OK to apply the changes and close the dialog or click Apply to keep the dialog open. Go to Preferences > Editor > General and select Change font size with Command+Mouse Wheel (on Mac) or Change font size with Control+Mouse (on Windows/Linux). To enable mouse zoom, you need to turn it on explicitly. We can use Quick Switch Scheme again to Exit Presentation Mode. Use the arrows to select View Mode and then select Enter Presentation Mode. Open the Quick Switch Scheme using ⌃ BackTick (on Mac) or Ctrl+BackTick (on Windows/Linux). We can also open Presentation Mode using short-cuts. Click Cancel to discard the changes and close the dialog. Scroll down to Presentation Mode, and font size and set the font size you want. If needed, the font size in Presentation Mode can be configured in Preferences > Appearance & Behavior > Appearance. You can switch to Presentation Mode by clicking View > Appearance > Enter Presentation Mode.Įxit Presentation Mode by clicking View > Appearance > Exit Presentation Mode. The font size is increased, so it is easier to read from a distance. The IDE switches to full screen and everything is hidden except for the main editor window. When presenting, you can use Presentation Mode. We have also configured the Presentation Assistant plugin to show the shortcuts at the top of the screen. We are using macOS, with Windows as the alternative keymap. Here we can configure font size, duration, alignment, and which keymaps to show. To configure the Presentation Assistant plugin, go back to Preferences and go to Appearance & Behavior > Presentation Assistant. Click Install and when it's done, click OK to apply the changes and close the dialog or click Apply to keep the dialog open.

Go to Plugins and search for "Presentation assistant" on the Marketplace tab. To install the plugin, open Preferences using ⌘, (on Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+S (on Windows/Linux). The Presentation Assistant plugin will show which shortcuts are being used. Our first tip is to use the Presentation Assistant plugin.
