Ways to adjust font size, including "on the fly".

To change font size for a particular resource (e.g. ESV), pull-down the menu in the upper left corner, and drag the slider circled below.

For the benefit of those who might not know... Ctrl + and Ctrl - can be used as shortcut keys to change the panel font size. I don't know for sure what the keys are on mac, but Cmd + and Cmd - would be a good first guess.

It's not possible to do exactly what you want, but you can set keystrokes to switch between a 'normal' view and a 'projector' view. To do so:

1. Open up your favorites panel from the tools menu. Make sure you can see all the slots under 'Bookmarks' at the bottom.
2. In command bar, type in the command set text size to xx% or set program scaling to xx% depending on your preference. xx must be a valid choice (e.g. 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, etc.)
3. When the resulting drop-down shows the correct command, drag that command to one of the Bookmark slots at the bottom of favorites.
4. You can the use the keyboard shortcuts to execute the command. The shortcut is CTRL+slot_number.

Program scaling will change every resource, even those not at default sizes. Text size only changes resources at the default. I prefer program scaling for projector use, as it also scales up the interface text, which is often also helpful.
