How do I undo zoom in in Eclipse?

I use MacOS High Siearra. My Eclipse IDE version is Oxygen 3(4.3.2). I have a big problem.

I accidentally shrunk my console area and text in the text field (using Command - shortcut), and now when I turn the screen back on, I close my tabs and when I reopen them the page opens in the smallest size. I have to fix it every time.

Also, I have not been able to make my console screen larger again if using a mouse. I'm glad you helped me. I also thought about reinstalling the IDE, but when I delete it from the application screen and install it again, I still have the same problem. I think I could not delete it with all the system folders.

Please help me.
Thanks

  • These settings are stored in the workspace metadata which on mac is at location:

    <your root path>/eclipse-workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings . Remove the intended setting from there and restart eclipse. For example, my editor settings are in the file org.eclipse.ui.editors.prefs with content:

    eclipse.preferences.version=1 lineNumberRuler=true overviewRuler_migration=migrated_3.1 spellingEnabled=true
