A visually impaired colleague has asked me to recommend an IDE with easy-to-find and easy-to-use controls for:

font size
background and foreground colors
changing syntax color scheme
support for at least C/C++ and Java

He would prefer an IDE that is either portable or that has similar versions for Linux, Windows and Mac.

He prefers a dark background and light colored fonts and needs to sit very close to the display.
