Zoom only Text in Visual Studio Code

Question

Is there a way to make Vs-code on Mac only zoom the text/file pane of the window? When I hit Command ⌘+ to zoom, it'll zoom all of the window, ie. also the icons on the left hand side and the file pane on the left as well.

Compare these two screen shots, maybe ;)

I'd only like the source file (nfsd.sh in the screen shot) to be zoomed.

Out of Box solution for zoom in/out for text only:

Ctrl + Shift + P
Type (Open User Settings)
Search (Edit settings.json)
Add "editor.mouseWheelZoom": true
Save it.

You can use your mouse wheel to zoom in or zoom out only text in the text box.

Thank you. I found it from Open User Settings, type "wheel zoom" and check-marked mouse wheel zoom. – Dewlance Aug 12 '22 at 10:13
This is great. It helps to be able to zoom in on only the text. – Eric Oct 13 '22 at 16:37

Open your settings.json file and increase editor.fontSize to increase the size of the text on the source file.

On Mac, while pressing the command key, slide two fingers upward to zoom out. Slide downward to zoom in.
