Using Mouse-wheel:

We can zoom In/Out of text using mouse wheel. Hold down CTRL+Mouse Wheel then you can instantly zoom in and out of text in the editor by rotating the mouse wheel.

Using Keyboard:

If you want to zoom In/Out using keyword you can use  CTRL+, (Zoom out) and CTRL+. (Zoom In)
Zoom In - Press CTRL+ Shift + >[Greater than]
Zoom Out - Press CTRL+ Shift + < [Less than]
