Enlarge the font size of the regular expression edit field

Motivation

Regular expressions are complex sequences of characters and symbols that are very hard to read, understand, and correlate with the text they should match or replace.

This is due to the fact that they are very compact way they are structured by just using a short symbol to represent an action or meaning and by abusing of nesting, escapes, lookahead, and lookbehinds.

Besides that, the bigger current screen resolutions and the age also contribute to making it hard to read, understand, and debug.

Suggestion

Example

A button for increasing/setting the font size:

[<kbd><b> <br>  A  🡙  <br> </b></kbd>][KBD]
