The Window zoom settings affect all GUI elements in VSCode, including the editor, the sidebar, the status bar, the command palette, the settings, etc. This setting shows up in the settings.json file as "window.zoomLevel": 0,, for example. It affects all open VSCode Windows. If you'd just like to zoom in and out in this window's editor only, see the section below on "Editor font size zoom" instead.
As you manually zoom in and out with Ctrl + + and Ctrl + -, you can see this setting change. When you get to the default zoom level of 0, it will remove the setting entirely, since that's the default zoom level.
If you have multiple windows of VSCode open, you can adjust the font size zoom only for this one window by using the Editor Font Zoom commands instead. Press Ctrl + Shift + P to enter the command menu, then search for Editor Font Zoom, and select one of the three options below:
These do not create a new setting entry inside settings.json. Instead, they just change the font size of the editor in the current window, allowing you to have different font sizes in different windows.
This is very useful when you have multiple monitors with different resolutions, and you want to have a different font size on each monitor. You may need to set the Window zoom which affects all windows to meet your needs on the main monitor, but then adjust the font zoom only on the secondary monitor to make it look right. I have a 4k 32" main monitor with a huge resolution of 3840 x 2160, making everything on it tiny, and a really old monitor with a tiny resolution of 1280 x 1024, making everything on it look huge. Now, I can use Editor Font Zoom Out repeatedly on the old monitor to make it zoom out enough that it's usable and still provides a really good size editor window.
With Moom, you can easily move and zoom windows to half screen, quarter screen, or fill the screen; set custom sizes and locations, and save layouts of opened windows for one-click positioning. Once you've tried Moom, you'll wonder how you used your Mac without it.
Quickly fill the screen, or move and resize to vertical or horizontal halves on screen edges. Want quarter-size windows instead? Hold down the Option key, and the palette presents four quarter-size corner options, along with "center without resizing."
Gestures (e.g. pinch to zoom, two finger panning) don't work in Illustrator for me anymore. They used to work just fine on both my Wacom tablet and laptop's touchpad, but now don't work for either. They work in Photoshop, just not Illustrator, so I'm not sure if it's an option that's been deselected or an actual bug, but I can't find the option if so. I can usually scroll vertically, pinch to zoom sometimes scrolls horizontally instead, and I can't use gestures to actually zoom at all.
OS: Windows 10
Version: Illustrator 2017
I want an undo command besides the keyboard and faster than edit>undo . maybe an on screen button would work. I use the surface pro 4 and would like the pen button to undo, but windows cannot reprogram it to control Z. which is more of a microsoft/windows issue. but if I could add undo to the tool bar, and something, that would make a difference. Another solution is to make the touch work space more useable.
Hello Sanjay
I'm sorry but for me the Force Enabled Pinch option didn't change anything. When I try to "pinch" to zoom in, nothing happens, except for the "selection tool" that appears. So I can't zoom in or out with two fingers. I don't know what to do because it's an essential feature for our touch screen.
Thank you in advance
Thanks, Sanjay! It worked for me as well. I don't know why the Windows version of Illustrator doesn't do that by default, while the Mac version does. Now I just need to figure out the diagonal scrolling with two fingers...
Same issue. I just upgraded my OS to Windows 10, and then downloaded AI CS4. The scroll does not work, and the zoom in/out gestures actually scroll left/right. Not sure if this would have been the issue, if I was to download the AI while operating in Windows 8...
Hey, in both Illustrator and Photoshop pinch to zoom doesn't work, it only scrolls to the sides. Panning kinda works in Illustrator but it's really jerky, in reality is more like it's applying normal scrolling rather than actually "panning" like in MacOS. In Photoshop panning acts weird, up and down work, sideways it scrolls to the wrong direction (scroll right, turns left and vice versa). Pinch to zoom has the same behavior as Illustrator. I have yet to try my Wacom tablet but will be able to provide feedback on it later.
