Thanks Cindy! But I've tried about every ALT key combination I can think of -- no luck.
Thus I'm hoping some kind soul here will notice this thread and whack me (gently) with a clue-bat.

I'm running KDE/Wayland (does the same with Xorg too) on

I've tried resetting the monitor size in KDE's System Settings ->
Display
and Monitor settings, but that doesn't work.
I've tested and tweaked ALL of the other settings I've found and
thought
might be relevant in KDE's System Settings but no luck there.
Can anyone suggest on how to "reset" my monitor? Thanks in

Hi.. Try holding your ALT key down while running your mouse wheel back
and forth. If you don't use a mouse, still try scrolling up and down
with whatever you use as an alternative.
If that doesn't work, try whatever other keys your keyboard has sitting
near that ALT key. Try both ALT keys, too, because I think I've seen
Users type about having each one programmed slightly different.
SOMETHING like that, who knows, maybe it wasn't ALT keys, grin.
Last thought on it is, if it looks like it's almost working but is
maybe a little confusing or something, try getting to a desktop with
all the program windows minimized out of the way. It did work for me
with a bunch of windows open just now.
For what it's worth, this is or at least used to be a HARD tip to find
out on the Internet. I've been trapped in that mode for maybe a half
day while trying to find the fix in the past.
Hope this helps. I keep forgetting it's an option that's great for a
quick, painless magnification of something small.
