Allowing integrated terminal zoom by mouse scroll

[geekonloose]

This is similar to #72011, but it would be very convenient to allow zoom for integrated terminals (especially for the small screen). Of course, this can be implemented only on the terminals which are supporting scroll zoom (for ex, git bash, bash etc)

Please introduce this required functionality, it is absurd that every time I have to go and change the terminal font in setting...

@LucaSorvillo if it's a common thing you do, you could make a simple extension to toggle between two values. In fact there may be generic extensions that do this already.

@Tyriar Thanks, I found this extension useful.
It would be even better to be able to do it with the mouse weel as it already happens in editor.

Maybe we should just piggyback off the editor.mouseWheelZoom setting then to avoid adding another setting.

I don't know, I think it's really about the UX.
I work all the time with Spring applications and seeing the very long logs in the terminal is not easy 😂

@LucaSorvillo some other ideas that might help in the meantime:

• If it's wrapped lines you can also hit alt+z to toggle "fake wrapping" where we size the terminal's width the the largest wrapped line
• The Terminal: Set Fixed Dimensions command allows you to do this but to a fixed number of columns
• You can pipe the output of a command to vscode, I think the syntax is <cmd> | code -
• Ctrl+shift+up in the terminal should select the output of the previous command to easily copy/paste into an editor

@Tyriar Thanks again, I'm used to zooming with mouse scroll also because I use it a lot in Windows Terminal ..

If/ when this ever gets implemented (CTRL+scroll for zoom in the terminal), I'd like an option to link the terminal zoom level to the editor zoom level. Like PowerShell ISE does it.

As LucaSorvillo said, there is the extension Zoom terminal, which allows you to increase and decrease the font, once it is installed, you can assign shortcuts, it is not ideal, but it helps a lot.
