Body

To change the font size of Copilot Chat window, i need to change the whole Enviroment font to Sego UI, then i can select larger size, e.g. 12. (It did default to Automatic with size grayed, and said 9)

However this will change about all non-editor elements in VS2022 UI (Including menus, solution explorer, ...)
Except, it does not change size of chat prompt field... the preview "Ask Copilot..." is size 12, but when i start typing, it goes back to really small.

My proposal is to have separate setting to control Copilot chat window font/size, including the prompt field when typing.
Or make it work like the editor, ctrl-wheel to zoom in-out.

I would like the GitHub Copilot Chat window to support the Control+MouseWheel gesture for dynamic zooming. It should work like a web page which contains various type of text blocks (e.g., dialog and code, etc.) with a single dynamic gesture for zooming all elements proportionately. I typically place the GitHub Copilot Chat window in one of the side monitors which positions it further away from me than the main Visual Studio window in the center monitor. The increased distance makes the chat thread relatively difficult to read. But it leaves the center monitor free for the entirety of the main Visual Studio window without the Copilot Chat docked window occupying a significant portion of the main monitor. This arrangement allows more screen space for displaying the active code editor and other IDE windows. The workaround mentioned above, increasing the Environment font size, has the undesirable effect of also increasing the font size for much of the IDE's remaining UI elements as well. Nevertheless, the input box within the GitHub Copilot Chat window retains the smaller font size as do its output code blocks. It is an unsatisfactory workaround and is far less convenient than a very quickly applied Control+MouseWheel gesture to affect zoom level with proportionate scaling of all contained text element block types. A setting for the default zoom level is also desirable.
