Does anybody know if there is a shortcut or something similar for changing the font size in the text editor in Visual Studio 2008?

What I mean is something like Ctrl + mouse wheel like in Firefox.

Accessing the Options window and then selecting Environment > Fonts and Colors is fine if you don't have to change the font size all the time, but in my case, I would like to be able to change it depending on what I am doing (writing and reading code or just reading it).

I guess I could create two almost identical settings files and import them whenever I want, but that is even slower.

You'll probably find these shortcuts useful:

Ctrl+Shift+. to zoom in.

Ctrl+Shift+, to zoom out.

Those characters are period and comma, respectively.
