Set desired zoom level when opening a new tab

When opening a new terminal window (or tab), it opens with the default zoom level. One can hold CTRL and scroll the mouse wheel to adjust the zoom level.
This can get tedious if one always wants a different zoom level.

I was expecting a zoom setting to appear as autosuggestion either in global settings or the profile settings for each terminal in the json settings file. However, it doesn't seem to be supported yet.

The setting could be named as below and would be nice to have for each profile rather than a global setting:

"zoomLevel": "90"

where "90" denotes the zoom percentage compared to the default zoom level.

So here's a little secret - when you "zoom" the terminal with the mouse wheel, we're actually just making the font size bigger. So if you wanted to "set the zoom" level of the Terminal, you could actually just set the fontSize bigger or smaller.

Does that work for you?

So if you wanted to "set the zoom" level of the Terminal, you could actually just set the `fontSize` bigger or smaller. Does that work for you?

It does work like magic! I now feel like I should have tried that before posting, but didn't think of it. Thanks a lot for the quick response.
