Is there a way in vscode to only zoom in on the editor

Question

Currently, when you zoom in while using vscode, the editor, side panel, and icons all get magnified.

Does anyone know how to get functionality similar to Atom where only the editor gets larger?

Answer 1

Out of Box solution for zoom in/out for text only:

1. Ctrl+Shift+P (or View->Command Palette...)
2. Type Open User Settings
3. Edit settings.json
4. Add "editor.mouseWheelZoom": true
5. Save it.

You can use your mouse wheel to zoom in or zoom out only text in the text box.

 

Answer 2

Update Version 1.24 - May 2018

There are new commands for to zoom in/zoom out text in editors only:

• Editor Font Zoom In
• Editor Font Zoom Out
• Editor Font Zoom Reset

By default they don't have any keybindings assigned:
