Zoom only Text in Visual Studio Code

Question

Is there a way to make Vs-code on Mac only zoom the text/file pane of the window? When I hit Command ⌘+ to zoom, it'll zoom all of the window, ie. also the icons on the left hand side and the file pane on the left as well.

Compare these two screen shots, maybe ;)

• Vs-code window, normal
• Vs-code window, zoomed in

I'd only like the source file (nfsd.sh in the screen shot) to be zoomed.

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

1. Ctrl + Shift + P
2. Type (Open User Settings)
3. Search (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

Open your settings.json file and increase editor.fontSize to increase the size of the text on the source file.
