Here's a feature that you might be able to use.

In OSX system Prefs,
I believe it's called Universal Access. (I'm not at the computer at this moment)
There's a setting in there that will allow you to zoom in the entire screen.
I think it's a 3key command to use. So it's slightly awkward, but prevents you from doing it accidently.
If have Quick keys, you can assign a single key to zoom in and another one to zoom out.
What is cool about this is that as you move the pointer, the screen will move so you can still get to everything. Probably not best if you're doing a lot of mousing around. Best for using small movements.
This is great for briefly reading the plugin list, or drawing automation,
you can zoom in pretty far. So far that the pointer fills the whole screen, (and then further)
You can also program in how far in you want to zoom on the first button press. Then smaller increments for each press after that. Same with zooming out.

Hope this helps
