I was just wondering if it is possible to change the font size of text on Windows Terminal. I don't see anything related to font size in the settings. The font size is really big for some reason and I don't know how to make it smaller. Thanks

@goodandrewsoft Yep, it absolutely is possible to change the font size - there are plenty of answers in the docs. Presumably, OP found those docs, and closed the issue on their own.

I found a way to override an action by finding the action list here, so now i can use alt+- or alt+= to change the font size, however the ctrl+- and ctrl+= bindings remain and I need these to not be there anymore. I can probably work around it by overriding them with "action": "sendInput" commands, but please tell me if I can do it without defining that.

Alright I think the "unbound" command is the way to do this. never mind.

Yep, these are the docs you're looking for: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/customize-settings/actions#unbind-keys-disable-keybindings
