Is there any shortcut for changing the font size in Oracle SQL Developer? like we have Ctrl+Mouse Wheel in SQL Server. I searched everywhere but I could not find anything. Please help if someone know.

Yes, there is a way to increase or decrease the font size.

Please follow the steps below:

  1. Click Tools, select Preferences.

  2. Click on Code Editor.

  3. Click Fonts.

  4. Set the size in the Font Size drop-down.

The method outlined in this post worked for me on Windows 10. (Note that this will edit the UI Font and for me it was necessary to do the second part of this to change the Editor font using the Tools -> Preferences -> Code Editor -> Fonts page):

Modify the FontSize properties in this file (your path will differ a bit): C:\Users\jdsmith\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\system4.1.0.13.75\o.sqldeveloper\ide.properties

and (from the comments)

Right Click on sqldeveloper.exe icon and select Properties.

Go to the Compatibility tab:

  • Click the "Change high DPI settings
  • Check the option of Override high DPI scaling behavior
  • Select “System” in drop down below
  • Apply
  • Re-Launch the application
