Description Mickael Istria CLA 2013-11-18 02:02:55 EST 
We should support Zoom + shortcuts (Ctrl+ & Ctrl- like Firefox) to zoom in and out on Text editors. Zoom in on text editors <=> Change font size. Here are the following reasons why:
* Accessibility for people with visual troubles
* Ability to easily zoom in/out during presentations
* Some user requests such as http://stackoverflow.com/questions/790720/eclipse-ide-how-to-zoom-in-on-text , http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6948374/how-to-change-font-size-quickly-in-eclipse

In general, the zoom operation is a standard of accessibility, so a command & shortcuts should be provided by platform for that. Other non-textual editors could just implement a handler for this command.
