Making Coding Accessible with Font Size Controls

July 12, 2025 • 3 min read

The Importance of Accessibility in Coding

For many developers, long hours in front of a screen can lead to eye strain, fatigue, and reduced productivity. Accessibility isn’t just about accommodating disabilities — it’s about creating an environment where every developer can work comfortably and efficiently.

How CodeFlow’s Font Size Controls Help

CodeFlow includes built-in font size controls that let you instantly adjust the editor’s text size to your preference. Whether you’re working on a large monitor, a laptop, or projecting code in a classroom, the right font size can make a huge difference.

Key Benefits:

  • Reduce eye strain: Larger text makes it easier to read during long coding sessions.
  • Improve presentations: Increase font size when sharing your screen for demos or teaching.
  • Personalized experience: Adjust the size based on your monitor and lighting conditions.

Making Coding More Inclusive

Adjustable font sizes are especially valuable for developers with visual impairments or those working in less-than-ideal lighting environments. By offering easy access to these controls, CodeFlow ensures that coding is accessible to everyone.

How to Change Font Size in CodeFlow

Simply use the Font Size slider in the editor’s settings menu, or use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + / Ctrl - (Windows) or Cmd + / Cmd - (Mac) to make quick adjustments.
