Adds VS Code-style zoom to the query editor and the database tree.

What you can do

  • Ctrl + = or Ctrl + + — zoom in
  • Ctrl + - — zoom out
  • Ctrl + 0 — reset to the original size
  • Ctrl + mouse wheel over the editor or the tree — zoom in/out
  • A new View menu carries all three actions
  • The level is remembered between runs, alongside the rest of the window state

Why this shape

No QML is needed for this. Qt Widgets already propagates a widget's font to
the items it renders, so zooming is a matter of scaling the font on the two
target widgets and letting tree row heights and editor metrics follow.

The work splits along the usual seam:

  • ZoomLevel (src/gui/zoomlevel.h) is a clamped value type — steps of ten
    percent, range 0.5x to 3.0x. No widgets, so it is tested directly.
  • ZoomPresenter (src/gui/zoompresenter.cpp) applies a level to the widgets
    it is given, and turns Ctrl+wheel over them into steps.

Two details worth a reviewer's attention:

  • Each target keeps the font size it was built with as its own step 0.
    Widgets that start at different sizes stay proportional to each other, and
    zooming in and back out returns to exactly the original size rather than
    drifting through repeated multiplication.
  • A mouse wheel notch is 120 eighths of a degree; trackpads report far smaller
    amounts. Those are banked until they add up to a notch, so a light two-finger
    scroll does not slam through the whole range in one gesture.

Also in here

Settings::setMainWindowState now takes a WindowState instead of six
positional arguments. That refactor is its own commit, done before the seventh
field (the zoom step) was added.

One real bug was found and fixed during manual testing: registering
QKeySequence::ZoomIn alongside Ctrl++ on the same action puts the same
sequence in the list twice on Windows, which Qt treats as an ambiguous overload
and answers by triggering nothing. See drop the duplicate zoom shortcut sequences.

Testing

pwsh -NoProfile -File build.ps1 passes at every commit. Test count went from
51 to 75.

Unit tests cover the level arithmetic and clamping, the font application
(including the no-drift property and targets destroyed out from under the
presenter), and the Ctrl+wheel filter including trackpad banking.

Verified in the running app by screenshot: the View menu renders, Ctrl+= scales
both the editor and the tree, and Ctrl+0 returns exactly to baseline.
Persistence was verified without keystrokes — seeding step 6 in the registry
started the app rendering at 1.6x, and a clean close wrote 6 back.

I did not get a reliable end-to-end "press keys, exit, re-read the setting"
run: SendKeys kept failing to deliver to the window (it dropped a Ctrl+Q at
one point). That is the automation harness being flaky rather than the app, but
it is worth one manual pass on the shortcuts before merging.

Conventions

CONTEXT.md gained the Zoom and ZoomPresenter entries in the same
commits that introduced them. README.md lists the feature.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds discrete zoom support for the query editor and database tree. It adds keyboard and Ctrl+wheel controls, persists the zoom step with window state, updates build configuration and documentation, and adds unit and widget tests.

Changes

Zoom support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Zoom level model
src/gui/zoomlevel.h, src/gui/zoomlevel.cpp, tests/test_zoomlevel.cpp
ZoomLevel provides clamped steps from -5 to 20, 10% scaling per step, reset behavior, and change detection. Tests cover scaling, bounds, reset, and step updates.
Widget zoom presentation
src/gui/zoompresenter.h, src/gui/zoompresenter.cpp, tests/test_zoompresenter.cpp
ZoomPresenter applies a shared zoom level to registered widgets, preserves base font sizes, handles Ctrl+wheel input, and emits step changes. Tests cover target registration, signals, destroyed targets, and wheel-delta banking.
Window actions and persistence
src/gui/mainwindow.h, src/gui/mainwindow.cpp, src/gui/mainwindow.ui, src/settings/settings.h, src/settings/settings.cpp, src/gui/sessionmanager.cpp
MainWindow adds zoom actions and shortcuts, registers the editor and tree, restores the saved step, and saves it through WindowState.
Build and feature documentation
CMakeLists.txt, tests/CMakeLists.txt, CONTEXT.md, README.md
The application and tests include the new zoom sources. Project documentation describes zoom behavior and controls.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e9d20

The new editor and tree zoom feature is otherwise covered across its action, persistence, and wheel-input paths, but repeated target registration can make text scale incorrectly. Add idempotent target registration before merge.

🟡 Changes recommended

The new tests/test_zoompresenter.cpp helper uses mapToGlobal(QPointF) which is likely a non-compiling call in typical Qt 6 builds and should be corrected before merge.

Pull request overview

This PR introduces VS Code-style zooming for the main query editor and database tree in the Qt Widgets GUI, including keyboard shortcuts, Ctrl+wheel gestures, and persistence of the zoom level as part of the window state.

Changes:

  • Add ZoomLevel (clamped step/scale value type) and ZoomPresenter (applies zoom to registered widgets and handles Ctrl+wheel).
  • Add View menu actions (Zoom In/Out/Reset) and wire them to the presenter, including multi-shortcut handling for Zoom In.
  • Persist zoom step between runs by extending WindowState and refactoring Settings::setMainWindowState to take a WindowState.

macos-arm64 failure is pre-existing on master, not from this PR

ld: framework 'AGL' not found
clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1

Not caused by this branch:

Cause: macos-arm64 uses macos-latest, which has rolled to the macos-26-arm64 image (Xcode 26.6). Apple removed the legacy AGL framework from that SDK, and -framework AGL still arrives via Qt 6.9.0's FindWrapOpenGL on Apple — nothing in this repo references it.

Selecting an older toolchain is not available: per the image manifest, that image ships only Xcode 26.0.1–26.6, all of which drop AGL.

Options (maintainer's call, both change CI config beyond this PR's scope):

  1. Pin macos-arm64 to macos-15 in .github/workflows/macos.yml. One line, immediately green — but both macOS jobs would then run the same image, making the arm64/intel split misleading.
  2. Bump Qt past 6.9.0 to a release that fixed FindWrapOpenGL for the macOS 26 SDK. Proper root-cause fix, but it is a project-wide version change touching the Windows and Linux workflows and build.ps1 too.

Deliberately not guessing at either inside a feature PR, since both need verification on a macOS runner.
