Intellij zoom font all tabs

Is there a way to have Intellij zoom (aka adjust the font size) on all tabs at the same time? Can't seem to find the option anywhere.

Solution

  • You cannot zoom in/out for all files/documents without changing the the default font size in the settings.

    To change the default font size (for all opened files) open Settings dialog (⌘ CMD+, on MacOS or Ctrl+Alt+S on Windows OS).

    Then go to Settings → Editor → Color Scheme → Color Scheme Font and change font size there:

    This will set the default font size in intelliJ IDEA.

    Note: If the value field is inactive, you need to create a new Schema first by clicking Save As... button.

    You can also enable scrolling zoom (only the current file will be affected). Go to Settings → Editor → General and activate the checkbox Change font size (Zoom) with Ctrl + Mouse Wheel right under the Mouse section:

    enter image description here

    Now you can change the font size with Ctrl+Mouse Wheel. However this approach will change font size for each tab individually.
