I was wondering how I could make the editor look bigger? The text is very small.

In the video the text looks like it is bigger.

Hi, usually ctrl with the + will increase the size of the text. If that doesn't there should be a view menu option at the top of the editor. There is usually some kind of drop down menu with an option to increase font size (text size)

You can also go to Xcode > Preferences > Fonts & Colors. Under the Preview you will see the option to adjust your font. Click the icon with the letter T in it. You'll have the option to adjust your font-family, typeface, and font size. I would also recommend trying out the different themes. I find that some themes are easier on the eyes. Dusk is my favorite.
