RDI LPEX zoom in/out like Eclipse Neon

Eclipse neon allow developer to Zoom in & out with shortcuts keys Ctrl+= (Zoom-in) and Ctrl+-(Zoom-out). Lpex needs to have this same feature.


Use Case:

changing the font for lpex is extremely cumbersome. Browser, other IDE/editor all have the Zoom In/Out. It is about time that LPEX has this feature too! You zoom out to see the big-picture, and zoom in for your detail work.

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority requirement that is important to be addressed.

    This enhancement is very important for anyone with poor vision.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    For more information about CEAC, see http://www.comeur.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3285

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
