I have seen in many tutorial videos people zoom in and out on Xcode to show the code a little better. I tried with 'control' + 'two finger swipe on trackpad' but this does not work on Xcode. What is the shortcut for zooming on Xcode?

Care to point to one of those videos? Zoom in OS X means probably a different thing. – Martín Marconcini Jun 30 '12 at 23:52

MAC is a make up company, I'm assuming you're talking about a mac and/or Mac? – XAleXOwnZX Jun 30 '12 at 23:53
Yes. I am using MacBook Pro. – Abhinav Jul 1 '12 at 0:22

It's probably a feature of their screen capture software. – Ken Jul 1 '12 at 0:27
It's probably a feature of the capture software, but screen zoom is still a Mac OS feature. You can enable if you want to. – ephsmith Jul 1 '12 at 4:49

Screen Zoom is a system-wide feature. In Lion, this is part of Universal Access.

The short version is:

Visit System Preferences->Universal Access->Seeing

And set "Zoom" to on.

You'll then be able to scroll using the control key and the scroll gesture of your input device.

Follow the instructions here for more detailed instructions.
