Been looking for this answer for a while now. Finally found it on a different thread: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50783324.

Essentially you override the keyboard shortcuts for View:ZoomIn and View:ZoomOut with the ones for "Editor Font Zoom In" and "Editor Font Zoom Out". Note that you don't need remove the View-based shortcuts, just enter the Editor ones and they'll move to the top and override.

Works perfect.
