Visual Studio 2010 Mouse Wheel Zooming

I just noticed that Visual Studio 2010 has duplicated the mouse wheel zooming feature used by Windows Explorer and Word 2007. Simply hold down the Ctrl key and scroll the mouse wheel to zoom the text editor in and out.

This is great for presentations. No more digging through the Visual Studio Options window. Clearly it still needs some work (e.g. the scroll bars shouldn’t zoom) but it certainly looks promising.

MotoWilliams: that explains why the CTP is so buggy.  :)

-> that explains why the CTP is so buggy

Given that it is a rewrite of a lot of the editor (that is many years old) I would expect there to be lots of bugs.  Hopefully it will be worth it in the end.
