==Change font size== |
|||
Here is how to increase the print size in the terminal for those who need it (a good quick-start for technically-minded low-vision users or developers): |
|||
# Launch the Terminal activity. |
|||
# Type ''<tt>nano ~/.sugar/default/terminalrc</tt>'' |
|||
# Find the line saying ''<tt>Font = Monospace 8</tt>'', change it to ''<tt>Monospace 16</tt>'' (or whatever you want). |
|||
# Press <tt>Control-X</tt> and answer Yes to save. |
|||
# Close the terminal activity (the X in the top right-hand corner) |
|||
# Re-open the terminal activity, the terminal should now be in a larger print. |
|||
==Limitations== |
|||
It is not currently possible to cut and paste from the terminal to other activities. A [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5376 ticket] has been raised in the development site to add this feature. |
|||
'''Pasting Text from a Web page to the command line in the Terminal Activity''': You can use the the clipboard function (i.e., to cut and paste) to drop text into a terminal if you attach a 3 button USB mouse to your USB port. After you have copied text from the web page(usually Ctl C), switch to the Terminal activity, put your cursor on the command line and click your middle button. Doing that should cause the text to be copied successfully. |
