Is there a way to zoom the Visual Studio text editor with a keyboard shortcut?

Question

Yesterday I found myself needing to zoom my Visual Studio 2010 text editor and was without a mouse (don't ask). Typically I do this by holding down CTRL and scrolling the mouse wheel. I also couldn't figure out how to tab into the area where you can specify your zoom level in the lower left hand corner of the text editor window. So I guess I have two questions.

1. Is there a menu setting somewhere that I could have navigated to via the keyboard to set my zoom level?
2. Even better is there a similar mechanism to zoom like holding CTRL and scrolling the mouse wheel?

Answer 1

I don't know if there is a menu option, but there are keyboard shortcuts to set the zoom level.

ctrl+shift+. to Zoom In

ctrl+shift+, to Zoom Out
