Love it. Thanks. CMD +/- just like browsers. Works like a charm. Thanks!

Let's not forget:

View > Text Display > Zoom In

View > Text Display > Zoom Out

If you give these keyboard shortcuts then you're a keystroke away from changing 
the magnification level.

You can also set view attributes instantly via AppleScript:

--

tell application "BBEdit"
tell front text window
set display font to "Times"
set display font size to 18
set display magnification to 2.0
end tell
end tell

--

Give your script a keyboard shortcut and again — you're a keystroke away from a 
change.

There's a lot of flexibility.

Another way to change fonts is with the Fonts panel: View > Text Display > Show 
Fonts

Well, because you don't. :-)

More and more modern tools allow Command + or Command - to 
adjust the font size since it's of such ubiquitous utility.


Try View => Text Display => Zoom In/Zoom Out. You can assign 
whatever keyboard equivalents you like using the Menus and 
Shortcuts preferences.


Try the Magnification item in the status bar at the bottom of 
the window. (It has a keyboard equivalent as well, see again the 
Menus & Shortcuts preferences.)
