I've found that I cannot re-flow text in MicroB by zooming into a web page and then simultaniously pushing Ctrl+Shift+I. Instead the url bar pops up with an "i" in it.
Am I missing something here?
Is there maybe some way to re-map the shortcuts in MicroB so that I can push a different combination of buttons to get it to re-flow that way?

It doesn't work when the browser is in full screen mode (bug introduced in PR 1.2).

It does work, but you have to go to settings -> settings in MicroB. You should find a checkbox called something like "autofocus on address bar". Uncheck it and try again.

It's really annoying, but it works for me.

OK, its a few days down the line and I've tried all the good advice here but I still cant get it ti reflow text. It's very annoying cos the old eyes are not what they used to be.
So I'm still asking the other question: is it at all possible to re-map the shortcuts to a) something easier than the finger gymnastics of Ctrl+shift+i and b) something that actually works??

Hi,

a) not that I am aware of
b) not every site works well. Here on TMO for example it works really well with minimalist theme. As already mentioned, be sure not to be in full screen mode before hitting the gymnick Ctrl+Shift+i combo, the text reflows nicely and threads become really readable.

It still doesn't work. I've unchecked the "Autofocus on address field" option in MicroB settings and it now takes me to the top of the page. I've also tried it in and out of full screen mode. Nothing seems to work! It must be a problem with my phone.

Did you try it on this website with minimalist theme? I can grant you it does work very well indeed. Note that C+S+i acts as a switch turning reflow on and off. Phone conf? Extra software installed?

Yes, I have tried it on this site, and just about every site I've been on. It worked once only, ever. Now it takes me to the top of the web page but it does not reflow text.
I have a lot of extra software installed. But it was failing to reflow when the phone was still new and I'd not installed many apps.

note that jurop88 said mimalist theme. I normally use the classic light, and reflow has no effect, switching to minimalist makes reflow work flawlessly for me (however it doesn't work on most websites that I use reglarly). Suggest you switch to minimalist and try again just in case?
