When my cursor is in the developer console, and I try to hit Cmd-+ meaning, Cmd-shift-=, the zoom-in happens in the main window, rather than in the Developer Console or whatever they call what opens up when you hit Cmd-option-i

I can zoom out fine, and Cmd-0 restores the zoom level to 100%. But I can't zoom in.

How can I do that? I have an MBP 2012.

According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Keyboard_shortcuts the shortcuts on macOS to zoom in and out are Cmd++ and Cmd+-.

Note that you have to focus the DevTools (e.g. by clicking into them) to make the zoom work within them.

As mentioned in a related answer, this might also be related to your keyboard layout.

  • I do have my focus in the DevTools frame. I captured this in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX-V62K2wGA - you can see I start with the focus in DevTools and hit `Ctrl +` but the window above (containing this comment zooms in.) `Ctrl -` causes the DevTools frame to zoom out, as does `Ctrl-0` – sameers Jan 18 '18 at 01:07
  • Then it might be an issue related your keyboard layout. I have Windows with a German keyboard layout and it works for me. I don't think it's a general issue on macOS, otherwise more people would complain. https://stackoverflow.com/a/42707670/432681 gives a deeper explanation You may also [file a bug](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox&component=Developer%20Tools%3A%20Framework) for this, so the Mozilla people can fix it. – Sebastian Zartner Jan 18 '18 at 07:30
