How to zoom in Xcode on a code window

How do you zoom in to see code better in xcode. I'm looking for a shortcut, and not to change the projects display preferences. Also using CTRL + two fingers on mouse is not suitable as I'm using a multi-monitor set up and that zooms both monitors. I only want to zoom in on the code text. I found another solution here that allows zooming on the storyboard : Storyboard Zoom In/Out Keyboard Shortcut but this doesn't work on any of the code files.

Any ideas?

For XCode 9 and above:

  • Use Cmd + + to increase text size
  • Use Cmd + - to increase text size
