change font size in panes independently

[hyiltiz]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I keep a few panes open and zoom out from some of the panes where I just keep monitoring programs (like top, watch, ping etc.) but work in a large pane (e.g. vi).

Describe the solution you'd like Add ability to zoom each pane independently.

Describe alternatives you've considered iTerm2

I don't understand this request; can you be more specific about what you want to see?

Isn't that what the keys

        CTRL                 Z                  ->   TogglePaneZoomState
        SHIFT | CTRL         Z                  ->   TogglePaneZoomState
        SHIFT | CTRL         z                  ->   TogglePaneZoomState

does? or....

[hyiltiz]

No, TogglePaneZoomState seems to effectively hide the rest of the frames in a given tab/window, not change the font size of a certain frame.

I'm not really sure how iTerm2 behaves, but currently I'm using Terminator which has the feature hyiltiz described: font size adjustment (Ctrl + - and Ctrl + Shift + +) will only change the font size of the currently active pane.

My personal use case are:

• Sometimes I need to work with commands that produce wide output (e.g. kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o wide) and I need to reduce the pane's font size so that long lines won't get wrapped, while at the same time I want all other panels to remain unchanged.
• I use a multi-monitor setup where I use a single terminal window that spans multiple monitors (each monitor usually have their own panes) so that I can switch panes easily (whereas if I were using two different terminal windows, I have to use Alt + Tab in addition to the pane switch hotkeys to switch between panes in different monitors). The monitors have the same screen resolution but different screen sizes, so often times I panes on the smaller monitor use larger font sizes.

I'm in the same situation. Migrating from terminator over to wezterm but having issues with the font sizing being global and not per pane. Changing the font size also affects the other tabs which is a bit unexpected.

If there is now a feature that allows per-pane font sizing, I'm not aware of it and can't find anything in the current documentation.

Are there any plans to add per-pane font sizing?

Also wondering for this feature.
