It's a niche feature, but what's keeping me from switching yet is that they zed doesn't support ctrl+scroll to zoom/change font size yet.

Because I am accustomed to a non-US keyboard layout that doesn't make the regular key bindings for changing zoom easy, I got too used to doing it this way.

It's honestly looking to be a great modern IDE with almost everything I'm wishing for.

It is funny that accidental scroll while holding Ctrl changing font size is one of my most hated features in IDEs, like who the hell ever needs to change their optimal font size to any other value. It's fascinating to me that this is a dealbreakingly important feature for someone else.

I constantly do this when navigating large files. Zoom out for context (better than a minimap), zoom in for detail. I use the trackpad for it though, not ctrl/cmd-+. I also do it constantly in web browsers, and am consistently amazed by the way that minor changes to font sizes break the layout of any website that has had a designer near it.

You use them in pair programming, when you peer sit a little bit further

I often use it when sharing my screen. I like the feature quite a lot.

Live coding during a presentation or on stream is another use case in addition to the sibling comments.

Well it seems quite expected doesn't it. Different people and groups of people have different customization needs. I change my font size if I sit back or in a different position or use my standing desks.

May I ask which layout is that? On most that I have encountered (using hr daily), + and - don't require modifiers.
sureglymop OP
It's a swiss french layout and the problem is mainly +. But it's also that + and - are quite far apart so the mouse wheel is just easier.
