Ctrl+Shift+I permanent in MicroB
 
Is it possible to change the text reflow to be on as default?. it is quite clumsy to set it with 3-finger every time..

Works perfectly for me - have you tried Ctrl+Shift+i before going fullscreen, as suggested by oneFinn elsewhere? Trouble is that it's awkward and has to be done for each new browser window. I agree it would be best in settings.

microb config file

/home/user/.mozilla/microb/prefs.js

Would be fine if anyone can point out to me which string actually controls text reflow within the config file.

And yeah, it used to work automagically when the fonts were set to "Larger", until Nokia decided to "fix" the bug with PR1.2

Text reflow is when you zoom in, the text displays adjusts to fit your screen.. So you are not panning from right to left all day to read an article etc.

Actually, for the N900, it works the other way around. On normal text size settings with Maemo.org for instance, ZOOMING OUT reflows text, so that you won't get those empty boxes on the left and right when you zoom out.

Handy when you wanna tap "LAST" on thousand long threads, or making forms fit the screen.

But the "automatic focus on address bar" setting messes with this. Try doing Ctrl+Shift+i while NOT in full screen or with the above setting turned off.

After that, zoom out.

Not eyesight friendly, but useful nonetheless lol.

interesting ur way works, but useless when it doesnt reflow the text any other time than when you zoom out.

True, but like I said above, mostly useful when you just can't reach that "LAST" link on Maemo.org. Usually happens on the OC thread lol.

Also when important web form fields get covered up with other web elements, in which case it's reflow, zoom out, whip out Tab stylus (yeah, I have a large supply of 5800 style Tab stylus straps on hand lol) and profit.

Seems that MicroB has a hardcoded minimum limit for text reflow. Probably to keep websites from looking like a horrible mess at higher zoom levels, as I've usually experienced with other reflow browsers (ol' symbian UCWeb comes to mind). I could use another few levels of zoom and reflow before the limit kicks in though.

It's much more useful in normal use using the "LARGER" font setting, though that generally messes up web formatting.

Text reflow is the feature that stops microb from being the only browser that I need to use. When I am reading sites with lots of text in a wide format I use Opera. I can't wait to get an easy or permanent control for text reflow in microb.
