What feature would you like to see in cli-chess?

Hello,

I've just discovered cli-chess. It's cool, however, I've noticed that the game board is quite small, which can make viewing and selecting pieces a little difficult. I know that most terminals allow you to zoom in, but :

So allowing zooming (and saving the chosen option for next times) would be cool. I don't have a preference on how to do it.

Thanks for reading...

Hello,

I wish I could provide better news, but unfortunately there isn't a way for cli-chess to programmatically manage this. cli-chess is reliant on the user zooming or changing the font size to their preference. Some terminals allow setting up a "profile", so you could set one specific to cli-chess if you desire as well.

Regarding st, you should be able to zoom using Ctrl + Shift + PgUp/PgDn.
