There is a great new feature in the editor that allows you to instantly change the zoom factor of text.  Just hold down your CTRL key and use the wheel on your mouse to zoom in or out.

    Hardly a great feature. I'm fighting constantly in VS and other products with it. Shame that this only applies to VS (OneNote? IE? Word?). Sure, someone at MS thinks this is a "great feature", but for many of us it is a royal PITA. Just Bing on "how to disable control scroll wheel" It's not that great and not that well liked.

    I seriously can't comprehend a spot where you'd need to zoom in on text. You set the default font size that you can actually read, why you would need to zoom in and out afterwards is beyond me.

    The problem is that it is easy to accidentally switch the feature on with no indication why and how to turn it off again. Then you have to turn to Google and find this blog.

    This feature is one of the most annoying features ever added to Visual Studio. It's bad enough with a mouse but it turns into a constant battle against accidental zooming when using a trackpad. Please please make this feature optional.
