In RUN SQL Scripts enable common font resizing methods

Although Run SQL Scripts does support font resizing, the controls are difficult to access quickly and do not align with common or expected methods for changing font size. This slows me down, particularly when sharing my screen during conference calls.

It would be very helpful if Run SQL Scripts supported standard font-scaling shortcuts such as Ctrl + Plus / Ctrl + Minus and Ctrl + Mouse Scroll Wheel, consistent with typical editor behavior in VS Code and other modern tools.

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority Idea that should be addressed.
    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.

    I vote for this!

    Run SQL Scripts should have the same easy zoom-features like we're used to in other text editors - currently only the result window can be zoomed in/out with Ctrl-Plus/Ctrl-Minus.

    Regards,
