Arrange the window and text size
Hide or resize the side columns, change the text size, zoom a pop-out window, and know what happens to your sessions when you close Yardmaster.
You can give the conversation more room, make the text bigger or smaller, and zoom each pop-out window on its own.
Make the text bigger or smaller#
Press Command plus Equals⌘=Ctrl plus EqualsCtrl= for bigger text and Command plus Minus⌘-Ctrl plus MinusCtrl- for smaller, from anywhere, even while typing. Or pick a size under Font Size in Settings > Appearance: seven steps from Extra Small to XXX-Large, starting at Medium. Both change the same setting.
On a phone, Mobile text size is a separate setting, so changing one does not change the other.
Hide or resize the side columns#
Press Command plus \⌘\Ctrl plus \Ctrl\ to hide or show the projects column, and Shift plus Command plus \⇧⌘\Ctrl plus Shift plus \CtrlShift\ for the sessions column. The button in each column's header does the same.
A hidden column leaves a thin strip at the edge: click it to bring the column back.
Drag the border between a column and the conversation to make it wider or narrower.
Yardmaster remembers all of this after a restart. Sidebar Position in Settings > Appearance puts both columns on the Left or the Right.
Choose the app's language#
Language in Settings > Appearance sets the language of Yardmaster's menus and buttons. It offers only languages whose translation is complete, which today is English; more appear as their translations finish.
Zoom a pop-out window#
A window you pop out of the main one (a session, a project, the Scratchpad and others) has its own zoom. Press Ctrl and plus or minus (Command on a Mac), Ctrl+0 to reset, or hold Ctrl and turn the mouse wheel. It goes from 75% to 150%, and each window remembers its zoom. It never changes the main window, which uses Font Size instead.
In a window with a text editor, the keys go to the editor while you type in it: use Ctrl and the mouse wheel there, or click outside the editor first.
What happens when you close Yardmaster#
Closing the window quits Yardmaster and stops your sessions. When you open it again:
A session that was in the middle of work shows in your Inbox. With Auto-Resume Sessions on Restart on (it is on at first), Yardmaster picks it up again by itself, once.
A session that had finished stays as it was. Yardmaster never sends it "please continue" on its own.
There is a "close to tray" option inside Yardmaster's settings file, but no switch for it in Settings in this version, so the close button always quits.
