[FEATURE] Feature request: font size control in VSCode extension panel
Preflight Checklist

Problem Statement
Problem
The Claude Code panel in VSCode uses a fixed font size that doesn't
follow the editor's font size setting. On larger monitors or for users
who prefer larger text, this makes the panel harder to read compared
to the rest of the IDE.
Proposal
Add a setting to control the font size of the Claude Code panel,
either:
- A dedicated setting (e.g.
claude-code.fontSize) - Or have it inherit from
editor.fontSize - Ideally with keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl/Cmd + +/-) like the editor itself
Use case
I use Claude Code daily for a Laravel SaaS project. I switch between
the editor and the Claude panel constantly, and the font mismatch causes
eye strain over long sessions.
