Change editor font size

The editor font size is configured as follows:

  • The default font size is set on the Editor | Font page of settings  Ctrl+Alt+S. It will be used in the editor by for all newly opened documents, unless overridden in the current color scheme.

  • The default font size can be overridden in the selected color scheme. That is controlled with the Use color scheme font instead of default checkbox on the Editor | Color Scheme | Color Scheme Font page of settings  Ctrl+Alt+S, and the new font size is also set on that page.

There are also several ways to change the editor font size without specifying it in the settings:

  4. Now you can press Ctrl and while holding it, rotate the mouse wheel to increase or decrease the font size in the current document.
