Shortcut for changing font size

Does anybody know if there is a shortcut or something similar for changing the font size in the text editor in Visual Studio 2008?

What I mean is something like Ctrl + mouse wheel like in Firefox.

Accessing the Options window and then selecting Environment > Fonts and Colors is fine if you don't have to change the font size all the time, but in my case, I would like to be able to change it depending on what I am doing (writing and reading code or just reading it).

I guess I could create two almost identical settings files and import them whenever I want, but that is even slower.

In the Macros explorer under samples/accessibility there is an IncreaseTextEditorFontSize and a DecreaseTextEditorFontSize. Bind those to some keyboard shortcuts.

Be sure to check out the VS 2010 Beta that was just released. The new editor should have this.

This worked for me:

Ctrl + - to minimize

Ctrl + + to maximize

In visual studio code if your front is too small or too big, then you just need to zoom out or zoom in. To do that you just have to do:

  • For zoom in : ctrl + = (ctrl and equal both)
  • For zoom out: ctrl + - (ctrl and - both)
