How do I zoom in and out in Vim?

Press "+" key, Vim editor gui font size will change bigger. And, press "-" key, Vim editor gui font size will change smaller. This plugin is for GUI only.

The font size of a a console-based vim is determined by the font size of the terminal. So changing the vim font size can be achieved by changing font size of the terminal that vim is called from :

|Terminal emulators |     + font size      |- font size
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|    xterm          |Shift + Keypad Plus(+)|Shift + Keypad Minus(-)
|                   |Or control + mouse right click to choose the 
|                   |desired font size.
