Many of you have been asking for Windows Console to support zoom. Well, today is your lucky day! 😜 Install today’s Windows 10 Insider build #18272 and you can!
How does one perform this magic? After upgrading to Win10 Insider build #18272 or later, open any Console window (E.g. launch Cmd
, PowerShell
, WSL
, etc.) and then hit and hold CTRL while scrolling your mouse wheel / trackpad.
The observant will also notice that Console now honors your Light/Dark Theme settings: If you are using the Dark Theme, your Console’s scroll-bar is also dark-themed! We call this the Halloween 2018 Feature 😀
Enjoy!
Nice, thanks for the upgrade!
What about CTRL + F to find something though? Feels more important to me than zooming! 😀

I've just posted a reply to the SuperUser issue you reference above which may prove useful: https://superuser.com/a/1516949/78527
In short: We recommend that you download and install Windows Terminal if at all possible since we're unable to make many changes to Console for back-compat reasons. Windows Terminal is where we're plowing ALL our efforts, and which is improving leaps and bounds with each monthly release. In this month's release, you'll find a new feature that I think...
Are you aware of any keyboard shortcut equivalent, for those of us who work without a mouse, and don’t leverage trackpad features that simulate scrolling?
Someone got started with a PR for this feature, but haven’t responded recently. Hopefully they’ll complete the PR for an up-coming release. https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/1708
