Originally opened as adobe/brackets#7185

This is a fix for issue #7093. The idea is to add the styles with the new font-size and line-height before opening any document. To do this, when changing the font-size, we now save the strings that we use to set the styles, so we can use them to set the styles without having any editor open.

I verified that #7093 is fixed for any scroll positions only if Word Wrap is off. We may need to fix #7168 sooner since changes in this pull request make the scroll position off by the number of wrapped lines.

Done with review and will merge after you fix the JSDoc nits.

This does fix all the reload issues, with or without word wrap on. And I checked with the steps in issue #7168 and is fixed too.

The issue that this doesn't fix yet is increasing the font-size with Word Wrap on, but the issue there is in how we restore the scroll position. I need to check later if I can fix that using some of the new CM apis.

Yes, I meant #7168 with some font-size adjustment. I didn't remember that I filed #7168 without any font-size adjustment.

@RaymondLim I fixed the comments and removed the fontSizeAdjustment view state since we don't really need it anymore. I also added a fix for the word wrap issue, but it does't work when an inline editor is partially visible at the top of the screen, but might not be that bad of an issue. Let me know if the fix works for you.

@TomMalbran My changes are pushed. I'm done reviewing your changes and it's your turn to review mine.@dangoor Can you also review my changes in PreferenceStorage.js?

@RaymondLim The ViewCommands code looks good. I am not that familiar with the new Preferences code to know if your changes are good or not.

Edit: nvm the last comment, we only convert from the local storage.

@TomMalbran Yes, we're migrating only from the local storage. But your point is valid since this pull request is not going to release 37 and we may have a gap in migrating "fontSizeAdjustment" from release 37. Maybe we should stick with "fontSizeAdjustment" and just recalculate font size and line height in your new restoreFontSize function.

This may or may not be the proper place for this question. But would it be possible to expose the font sizing functionality as an API? I have added the ability to change the font size and type in Themes and it would be really smooth if I could leverage Brackets API instead of Themes completely taking over it. Any thoughts?

@RaymondLim That can be an option, but we would need to add the default font size as a new constant and remember to change it if we ever change it in the CSS. Anyway we already have that problem with the line height. Another option would be to do a 1 time conversion from the fontSizeAdjustment state view?

@MiguelCastillo To increase or decrease the font size, you could always call the commands. Or maybe even change the view states.

@TomMalbran Yeah I saw I could do that. I was looking for a direct way to set a specific font size.

@MiguelCastillo Wouldn't you just set the font size in the CSS, and have a function to increase it? This code should work for themes with other font-sizes.

@RaymondLim I just realized that it will be a bad idea to have the default font-size here, since we would have problems with themes that set the font-size to a different value in the CSS. We can get rid of the line height part by just setting the line height to 1.25 directly in the CSS, and other themes can set it to other unitless-values if required.

Ok, so here is how themes is working. I have an input field where you can set a particular font size you want to use. There is no button to increase/decrease the size. So, is there a way to tell bracket to set the font size to a specific number/unit? If not, that's no problem. I will just continue to override the style that brackets puts in the document.

@TomMalbran I like the new view states for saving us from recalculating font size and line height, but I don't like the fact that they are two independent view states. Instead of "fontSizeStyle" and "lineHeightStyle", we should group them just like we have with "linting" preferences. I know that linting preferences have some issues that@dangoor is looking at.@dangoor Can you suggest which solution we should follow?

@RaymondLim I don't like the way linting was done, since we end up using a . for both extension preferences and default ones. We have lots of preferences without adding a . (like all the editor ones) and some with it. We aren't consistent with it.

Anyway, what about just removing the whole line height part and place it into the CSS? if we just set it to 1.25, then we wouldn't need to update it everytime we update the font-size.

@MiguelCastillo No we don't have that function. If _adjustFontSize was exported, you could use it by passing the difference between the theme's default font-size and the new value. WE would need to change the function for it to accept a font-size and calculate the adjustment. Anyway, ins't it easier to just use the increase/decrease commands? Or maybe you could make a PR that would let you change the value (a menu item that makes a dialog appear, where you set the font-size).
