Provide option to set the Script pain font and output panel font separately in IBM ACS RUNSQL Scripts

I often need to set the output pain (resultset data) font to larger than that of the actual SQL statement that produced it. Today, they both get the same font. This request is to provide 2 font settings so that they do not need to be the same size.

Use case: When reviewing joblogs, or sharing my screen via Zoom or MS Teams, I often have to increase the font size so participants can actually see the data in the resultSet. 

In addition, just to be able to make the output pain (resultset window) font larger in general (or smaller as the case may be) than then SQL code that produced it, would be helpful.

    We will add the support for the Cmd++ to match Ctrl++ in our next update and decline the original request.

    Um... On my Mac it is normally Cmd++

    However on ACS it seems to be Ctrl++

    So yes, that would be good enough if it responded to the "tradiational" key on the Mac.

    Thank you for submitting your Idea to enhance IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS). For the temporary case of needing a larger font to make it easier to view, have you tried using the keyboard shortcuts for enlarging the text? For example, on Windows it is the window-key++ or window-key- - to temporarily zoom in or out. This would seem to be a better solution for the short term need of making the font larger instead of having to configure a 2nd setting and then unset it when no longer needed. Does that satisfy the requirement?
