Customizable Zoom Step (e.g., 5% instead of 20%)

Cursor’s zoom functionality is too coarse - it jumps in huge 20% steps (window.zoomLevel). There’s no way to adjust zoom in smaller increments, like 5% or 10%.

It becomes annoying when you want to slightly tweak UI scale without it jumping from “barely readable” to “blown-up cartoon mode”.

Please implement:

  • A setting like "window.zoomStep" (float)
  • Or: smoother zoom behavior with Cmd+MouseWheel (like in browsers or design tools)
  • Or: even just a slider with finer control

Also - I tried to find any extension that would help with zoom customization, like Zoomer for VSCode - nothing shows up in Cursor’s extension panel. Literally doesn’t exist. So right now there’s no workaround.

If you’re going to call this a “VSCode-based editor”, it should support at least that level of UX.

Thanks.
