emacs zoom in/zoom out
Is there a way to zoom in and out (dynamically change the font size, quite smoothly) on emacs?
Try C-x C-+ and C-x C--; that is, Control-x Control-Minus/Control-Plus.
After one combination (C-x C-+ or C-x C--), successives + or - increase or decrease the text scale without typing C-x C- again.

I looked up the function that was assigned to the keys mentioned, and found out that they are text-scale-increase and text-scale-decrease. I added the following to my configuration file so that I can do Ctrl+Scroll to zoom in/out. It is useful.
(global-set-key [C-mouse-4] 'text-scale-increase)
(global-set-key [C-mouse-5] 'text-scale-decrease)
The -very nice- answer of user173973 is binding the functions to non-generic mouse events. That is to say that for example on my windows system, the binding command is not valid.
To use it on windows (or probably anywhere) you can use these generic bindings :
(global-set-key [C-mouse-wheel-up-event] 'text-scale-increase)
(global-set-key [C-mouse-wheel-down-event] 'text-scale-decrease)
(setq w32-pass-extra-mouse-buttons-to-system t). Any ideas? (I'm on Windows 7.)
(kbd "<C-wheel-up>"). Especially, describe key with C-h k ctrl+scroll-up.
This config worked for me:
(global-set-key [C-wheel-up] 'text-scale-increase)
(global-set-key [C-wheel-down] 'text-scale-decrease)
All windows
You'll often want to change your font size because you're showing something to others. Then you likely want all windows to zoom in (including mode-line). For this, default-text-scale is great.
I bind it as such:
(key-seq-define-global "q-" 'default-text-scale-decrease)
(key-seq-define-global "q+" 'default-text-scale-increase)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-M-_") 'default-text-scale-decrease)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-M-+") 'default-text-scale-increase)
Quick single window, and back
For a really quick heavy (16x) zoom-in, you can use: C-u C-u C-x C-+
For going to single-window mode, say for a org presentation: C-x 1
Then you can undo the single-window and return to whatever layout you had before with winner-undo: C-c <left>
Whole desktop
Relatedly, for sharing over a video call, it might be easiest to just change (lower) your desktop resolution. On linux, I pop up arandr for this before starting a sharing session.

(text-scale-set LEVEL)if you know in advance what you want. For instance, I use this to reduce the font size in ibuffer by default:(add-hook 'ibuffer-mode-hook 'my-ibuffer-mode-hook) (defun my-ibuffer-mode-hook () (text-scale-set -1))(global-set-key (kbd "C-<wheel-up>") 'text-scale-increase)(global-set-key (kbd "C-<wheel-down>") 'text-scale-decrease)minusmust be from the typewriter keys, not the numeric keypad.
