VSCode: Individual zoom levels for each open VSCode window (Multiple monitor setup with vertical monitor)

I have a 2 monitor setup. One monitor I have setup as vertical as it's easier to read through long code. The way I have VSCode setup, is that I have 2 separate VSCode windows open for the same workspace (by pressing CTRL + K, then O). One window on the regular monitor, and one for the vertical one. All works fine.

However the issue that I have, is that on the vertical monitor, due to the aspect ratio, the font size of VSCode is too big so I have to zoom out a bit with the built in VSCode zoom function (CTRL +/-). This works fine and I can adjust it so it's perfectly readable. Unfortunately when I zoom, it zooms on all open VSCode windows, including the window on my main monitor. The text there then becomes too small.

How can I have individual zoom levels for each open VSCode window?

There is a setting Editor: Mouse Wheel Zoom. If you turn this on you can zoom with the Ctrl key and mouse scroll wheel, and it only affects the code editors in the current VSCode window.

Dude I am planning to buy a monitor and placing it Vertically so that's why I am confirming how to see the code in the vertical format. Like I use ESLint to prettify my code and I want to set the width of my code to de static so that it should not exceed.

AND on to your problem, there is a setting in VS code to set the font of your code changes with the scroll you should use that. That will be the bare minimum to work. Hope this helped.
