Can we have separate settings for each VS Code instance open?

I'd like to have for example different zoom levels for each instance of VS Code open on my desktop. Right now if I change zooming in one VS Code window, all others get affected as well.

As of vscode v1.86, you can separately zoom in/out any floating windows or other open instances of vscode. Using the Ctrl +- triggers. So no need for a setting like in the other answers.

See this setting - default is enabled, so applies to the active window only:

Window: Zoom per Window

"Controls if the 'Zoom In' and 'Zoom Out' commands apply the zoom level to all windows or only the active window. See Window Zoom Level for configuring a default zoom level for all windows."

You can set all preferences on a per workspace basis.

All you need is "window.zoomLevel": 1 in a .vscode/settings.json file and it affects only the window in this project.

You can read more about the preference system in the docs.
