Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched existing issues and this bug hasn't been reported yet

Current behavior

The Hoppscotch desktop application does not currently support zooming in or out (e.g., via Ctrl/Cmd + +, -, or 0). This is problematic for users on high-DPI or 4K displays, where the interface elements become very small and difficult to read or interact with.

Expected behavior
Users should be able to zoom in/out and reset zoom using common shortcuts or settings, as found in most Electron-based apps (e.g., VSCode, Slack, Postman):

Ctrl/Cmd + +: Zoom in

Ctrl/Cmd + -: Zoom out

Ctrl/Cmd + 0: Reset zoom

The zoom level should persist across sessions.

Steps to reproduce

Ctrl/Cmd + +: Zoom in

Ctrl/Cmd + -: Zoom out

Ctrl/Cmd + 0: Reset zoom
