VS Code / Code Spaces can not change font size

Question

I am experimenting with GH Codespaces in my local VS Code (I know it's running remote).

However somehow I can not change the font size. Ctrl + , for preferences, I found the Editor: font size option, however, changing it does not impact the font size.

When I just try the same thing without codespaces (locally) it works just fine. Is this enough to be reported as an issue?

Answer 1

You can use Ctrl + Shift + P for Windows or Cmd + Shift + P for Mac and then type Increase Editor Font Size / Decrease Editor Font Size to change the size and immediately see the result in the editor, making it easier to set the right size.

you can use Terminal: Increase Font Size or Terminal: Decrease Font Size to change the terminal font sizes. – Mossback

Answer 2

I found a work around for this issue.

1. Open up the Command Palette (Shift + Cmd + P).

2. Search for 'Editor Font Zoom Out'/ 'Editor Font Zoom Out' and select either option until you reach your desired font size.

Answer 3

Came here for the same problem and found out there is a hidden tab on settings.

This is the proper way of doing it. The default was 22.
