Allow to zoom only the current instance and not all

[yordan-kanchelov]

It would be good if you have opened more than one vscode instance and the zooming you've done on it shouldn't affect the other ones.

@jkanchelov this is possible by configuring the window.zoomLevel as a workspace setting. Have you tried that?

[yordan-kanchelov]

I've tried it, but it would be easier if it comes straight without the need to declare it there. I have the habit to often move the instance from one monitor to another and if they are on different resolutions sometimes there is a need for me to zoom in / out often.

Second this request, there are many scenarios where you may want different font size on Different Windows and Instances. Perhaps you can implement in Global as well as local Editor properties. Treat this like a Microsoft Office Document (Word etc) editor feature. Zoom on Window is local to that Instance/Window. If user wants a more permanent setting, it can be done through properties etc.

Hello,

What are news about this feature ? Up ! :)

[yordan-kanchelov]

It could come really handy when #10121 is implemented.
