Is there a way to zoom the Visual Studio text editor with a keyboard shortcut?

If anyone is looking for an answer to the first question (as I was), you can hit Ctrl+F2, then hit the Tab key three times. This works in VS 2019, but doesn't appear to work in 2017.


Visual Studio Code Linux keyboard shortcuts for zoom in/out:

  • in: Ctrl + =
  • out: Ctrl + -

I don't know if there is a menu option, but there are keyboard shortcuts to set the zoom level.

ctrl+shift+. to Zoom In

ctrl+shift+, to Zoom Out


In my case, ReSharper reassigned Ctrl + Shift + , (aka Ctrl + Shift + < ) to ReSharper's Recent Edits command, and I wanted to reset it back to Visual Studio 2012's zoom out.

To do that, go to Tools -> Options. Under Environment -> Keyboard, remove the Ctrl + Shift + , hotkey from the ReSharper.ReSharper_GoToRecentEdits command (or any other commands), and assign the View.ZoomOut command back to Ctrl + Shift + , (use either Global or TextEditor mode).
