How to increase font size in the Xcode editor?

Question

To increase font-size in Xcode is a pain.

Answer 1

When changing fonts in XCode from [Preferences] (after duplicating a template that matches colours close to what you want), you can select multiple entries and change the fonts all at once. Use [shift] to select a range or [cmd] to select multiple individual entries (e.g. you might select both 'comments' and 'strings' and change only their fonts).

You can use this plugin to change the font size using ⌘ + or ⌘ - (Control - and Control + in the latest versions of Xcode. The plugin developers changed the shortcut to avoid conflict with Interface Builder hotkeys):
