I am using newest version of Ubuntu mate (22.04 - Jammy jelly-fish), where the text editor is 'Pluma'.

Earlier, when I was in mint, I used to press 'Ctrl + scroll' for zooming in and out for changing font size. But, this is now not working in Pluma, please help. Just 'Ctrl' + '+/-' is also not working.

I found similar question for Gedit here (How to zoom in and out of text in Gedit?), and the answer suggested is to install a plugin 'Text-size'. So, I checked in Github page of pluma for similar plugin and it is not available there (https://github.com/mate-desktop/pluma).

It is... not super intuative. A keyboard shortcut would help.

  1. Do Edit > Preferences

  2. Navigate to Font & Colors

  3. Uncheck Use the system fixed with font Screenshot of Pluma Preferences

  4. Where it says Editor font:, click on the current font (for me, it said Monospace Regular 12).

  5. You can adjust the font size here (use the slider labeled Size, or replace 12 with your desired font size) Screenshot of font picker

  6. Press Select, and then do Close to exit the preferences. Your font size is now changed

I currently have a high-DPI display running i3wm (I use Arch BTW), and I just installed Pluma for this question, so that is why my window borders and scaling looks strange. But this should still work for you regardless.
