Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Smaller font sizes are hard for me to read, so I like to zoom into documents to increase their legibility. When I do so in the text app / previews for .md files/ ... with ctrl + +, the entire website is zoomed in.

Describe the solution you'd like
Either allow the zoom event to be caught and only influence the preview / text size, or add a zoom button like the PDF viewer has.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Somebody can gift me a magnifying glass 🔍 😉

Additional context

There is a LOT of space for a size increase on a regular 15" laptop display:

Research direction

Start by locating the text editor and Markdown preview handling for Ctrl++ and compare it with the PDF viewer's zoom control. The change is done when text or preview content can be enlarged without changing the browser's overall website zoom, with the supported interaction documented or tested.
