Description

Coming from Android Termux land to do rarely, but often critical quick system administration, I miss the feature to change font size quickly using pinch zooming gesture, when I switch from digging in log files to using htop/emacs/whatever TUI app with small details.

Having pinch zooming gesture makes font resizing a lot less painful, and very likely others with similar every-once-in-a-while-sysadmin needs happy.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the iOS terminal font-sizing and gesture-handling code, then determine how pinch gestures should alter the displayed font size; done means pinch zooming reliably resizes text while using the shell and TUI applications.
