Mysterious Notes in Roll 20

Edited 1692661728
When I create a mysterious Note, then drop down and edit what I want to say I have found one of the most irritating features to date. I have to adjust my header font size. The text is too tiny for these old eyes. After I hit enter, my font resets and I constantly have to reedit the font size over and over for every sentence I type after I hit enter. Would it be too much to ask the roll20 gods to update this just a bit by keeping my font selected until I choose to change it ? Its irritating to the point of breaking a keyboard in half retyping the same thing over and over because this little diddy was overlooked, or is this just me ?

Hi The Keeper! Can you give a screen shot? Do you mean you are trying to type entirely in a header font to get larger text?

That's likely working as intended.  Usually, you'd type a heading and then type normal sized text afterwards for a while before switching back to a heading again for the next section.   Through experimentation, I've discovered that if you end your section with Shift-Enter, it will start a new block with the same style still selected.  It's a little tedious to get used to, but that will let you keep typing in the same larger size. Alternatively, you could do your copy editing outside the handout (in Notepad, Vim, etc), then paste it in the Handout, ctrl-A (Cmd-A) select all and set it to the size you want. Another option is using the browser zoom to make the display large enough to type everything in the normal style, then select all and adjust it to the style you want and set the browser back to 100% zoom.

Also, if you are interested, I am certain that there are some adjustments that can be made that would only affect your browser that could increase the default text size. It would require installing an extension, but let me know if this sounds appealing.
Thanks for the replies. I knew there was an easy work around. I overlooked using Word. I still haven't found the browser I want to use. I am trying Edge now with roll 20. It seems to handle to pages better than firefox or chrome. I will let you know Keith if I stay with it. In the mean time, I will just use word to type it all and paste into the roll20 Notes and bypass their current setup.
As someone who suffers with bad sight there are a couple of suggestions I can give that might help you see the screen better. Firefox has a 'Zoom Text Only' option.  You need to go into setting and find the zoom option and tick the box, but for handout I find it really good, for character sheets and the like it is a nightmare, so I tend to have Firefox on standby for certain things.  I've not found anyother browser with the option Also if you have Windows 10 (and probably 11 as well) using the Windows Key and the + button on the numbers key pad will activate windows magnifier so you can make a single part of the screen larger without using the browser zoom and then just use the Windows Key and the - button to get rid of it.  In the Ease of Access centre in your Computer settings you can also change the magnifier settings to suit what you need.
