Change ISE Zoom Level

The PowerShell ISE sports a zoom slider at its lower right edge, and you can control this slider with PowerShell code.

So you could set defaults for it in your $profile script:

$psise.Options.Zoom = 120

Or, write some code to keep your colleagues entertained:

#requires -Version 2

$zoom = $psise.Options.Zoom

# slide in
for ($i = 20 $i -lt 200 $i++)
{
  $psise.Options.Zoom = $i
}

# slide out
for ($i = 199 $i -gt 20 $i--)
{
  $psise.Options.Zoom = $i
}

# random whacky
1..10 | 
ForEach-Object { 
  $psise.Options.Zoom = (Get-Random -Minimum 30 -Maximum 400)
  Start-Sleep -Milliseconds (Get-Random -Minimum 100 -Maximum 400)
}

 
$psise.Options.Zoom = $zoom
