What's problem you are encountering?

details:

I want a simple user popup like for Zoom blocks except for zooming the entire editor like from 0.25x to like 4x if someone can't read properly or jumbo fingers. I know there is a MorphicPreference key that can make a WorldMorph like 1.5x bigger for touchscreen users, but I want to customise the scale in a user-friendly way.

I don't know if there is a "suggestions" category in here. Mods, move this to a "suggestions" category, I'm still pretty new to Snap*!* and it's forum. Only been like 3 yrs. since signup I think

We haven't felt the need to do this ourselves because Snap! runs in a browser window, and your browser already has this feature for all windows.

Yeah, except that in the context of this topic, mobile browsers don't usually give the user the ability to change the zoom of webpages, it's usually just tltext scaling or every page zoom. That's because they expect you to pinch to zoom in and out, rather than zoom in and out like you do on desktop.

or every page zoom.

There are browser extensions to make the zoom setting remembered per-page. I use "Zoom Page WE" in Chrome. Dunno how it works on phones, though.

Desktop browsers already remember the zoom on every website, however most mobile browsers just don't have the same kind of zoom, they only have the pitch to zoom.

Also, an interesting thing I noticed. I have a keyboard on my android phone that has the control key, and it sends keyboard shortcuts to the app, so when I press ctrl + in my phone browser, it zooms in, however it's just the pitch zoom thing, not the same kind of zoom on desktop browsers.
