Description T. Penev 2004-06-02 13:35:52 UTC 
Description of Problem:
The View->Zoom in /out options cannot be accessed
via Ctrl+Numpad "+" or "-". Also the description
"Ctrl++" and Ctrl"+-" is a little confusing - on
most keyboards the "Normal Size" and "Zoom In"
would have the same shortcut since the "+" and the
"=" char are on the same key - Zoom In actually
requires Ctrl+Shift+"=".

Expected Results:
zoomin/out not working with numpad keys

How often does this happen? 
always (2.6.1)

No news for this bug, I send a new request to get more information about this bug.
Comment 2 Kjartan Maraas 2005-09-19 11:10:20 UTC 
I think the description is clear enough. Numpad + and - don't work for zoom in/out.

The problem is obvious when one runs xev which shows that

the '+' key along the top has keycode 53 keysym 0x2b plus
the '+' key on the numeric pad has keycode 94 keysym 0xffab KP_Add

SO if you want to fix this then, both keysyms must be bind to the action of zooming in for terminal.
Comment 5 Ed Avis 2008-01-01 13:08:46 UTC 
Note that Firefox accepts C-keypadplus to zoom in, so there is precedent.
Comment 6 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2008-01-01 14:45:57 UTC 
Firefox UI design decisions are unrelated to Gnome standards ;)

Anyway, Epiphany accepts this shortcut as well, so we should add it to g-t imho.

Easy to do now that we use gtkuimanager.

Similarly, the numeric shortcuts under File, Open Terminal and File, Open Tab also fail to respond to the numeric key pad.

Not similar at all. This bug is about shortcuts not working with numpad. Menuitem mnemonics are a different case. If they don't work with numpad, it's either a gtk+ bug or NOTABUG.

Thanks, chpe. Filed bug 554617.
