Is there a way to set the default zoom level in Visual Studio 2010? The problem is that I find font size 10 to be too small, but font size 11 is too big. It just so happens that 90% zoom level with font size 11 gives the perfect size I am looking for. I would like to be able to have VS automatically always zoom the editor to 90%.
Go to TOOLS à Options à Environment à Fonts and Colours and change the Size field. Avani, Global Zoom Level extension lets you save zoom settings.
You can adjust the Zoom level in VS Code with the View > Appearance > Zoom commands. The zoom level increases or decreases by 20% each time a Zoom command is executed.
Visual Studio provides commands—View. ZoomIn (Ctrl+Shift+.) and View. ZoomOut (Ctrl+Shift+,)—that increase and decrease the zoom level in various parts of the IDE.
To reset the zoom back to the default view, press and hold the Ctrl key and press the 0 (zero) key.
The VSCommands Lite extension appears to do this, judging by this blog post.
I don't think there's any way to do this other than using/writing an extension; macros don't appear to have access to the zoom controls.
If you wanted to write your own custom extension to do this you'd probably be looking at using the IWpfTextView interface.
Another good option is Presentation Zoom.
You can also use the keyboard. The default bindings are:
