I need fast shortcut to change the terminal font size. I use gnome-terminal
.
I tried with Ctrl + + and Ctrl + - but the size is not changed.
Is there another shortcut? Can I add a shortcut like this?
Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- are working fine for me. Maybe you have different shortcuts configured.
To change the keyboard shortcuts, go to Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts... in the gnome-terminal menu, and look for Zoom In and Zoom Out:
+
is on the =
key, so you actually have to hit shift
and =
to get a +
. This is probably why you have to use ctrl
+shift
++
(or actually, it is ctrl
+shift
+=
). If you don't like this, just configure some other keyboard shortcut as described above. For instance if you configure ctrl
+=
to zoom in, you will be able to hit the keys you expected in the first place to zoom in (without shift
).

Try Shift Ctrl +for increasing
and Ctrl - for decreasing font size.
Note: the Shift key is needed on some systems.
Trick that worked for me was to use Ctrl
+ Shift
+ =
or Ctrl
+ -
but NOT on numeric keyboard.
Remember that terminal is VERY literal! The + key Ubuntu terminal wants is on top row and requires Shift otherwise it's =.
