Zoom and settings
Open Settings from the gear button in the header.
Zoom the paper
Section titled “Zoom the paper”Hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel over the note to zoom the paper. These shortcuts work too:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Ctrl + + |
Zoom in |
Ctrl + - |
Zoom out |
Ctrl + 0 |
Reset zoom to 100% |
The zoom range is 50% to 250%. Zoom only changes the paper. The interface around it stays the same size.
Settings

Ctrl+ scroll, with a reset button. - Width: Narrow, Medium, Wide or Full.
- Line spacing: Compact, Normal or Relaxed.
Writing
- Auto-save after: 1, 2 or 5 seconds after you stop typing.
- Spell check: off by default.
- Show folder and edit time: the small row above the note title.
Appearance
- Interface scale: 50%, 75%, 100% or 125%. This scales the sidebar, header and menus, not the paper.
- Dark mode: switches between light and dark.

- Reduce animations: turns off transitions. Raku also respects the reduced-motion setting of Windows.
