Description Alex Solanos 2011-04-09 21:43:59 UTC 
Although the 'Ctrl plus -' does minimize and 'Ctrl plus 0' does resize to the default, 'Ctrl plus +' doesn't enlarge the window, it simply types one '=' for every 'Ctrl plus +' in the terminal's input...
Comment 1 Behdad Esfahbod 2011-04-09 22:48:42 UTC 
The problem is, to enter "Ctrl plus +" you really should do "Ctrl plus Shift plus =".  We should handle without Shift too (Firefox does), but we currently don't.
Comment 2 Alex Solanos 2011-04-09 23:21:59 UTC 
yeah, 'Ctrl plus Shift plus +' works OK, but in the View menu it only says 'Ctrl + +', it doesn't mention the Shift at all. Maybe a quick fix on this would be more user-friendly :)
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2011-04-10 09:40:35 UTC 
I thought not handling just Ctrl-+ is because of our policy to not pollute the Ctrl keyspace? I.e. we deliberately use Ctrl-Shift-C/V for copy/paste instead of the standard Ctrl-C/V, too.
Comment 4 Alex Solanos 2011-04-10 09:52:01 UTC 
i don't think that this is the point, actually.
Consider that 'Ctrl plus -/0' works without Shift, why 'plus +' works with?
And, after all, why in the View menu doesn't say anything about the Shift key? :) ?

Comment 6 Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2011-04-25 16:51:01 UTC 
Isn't this cause by the fact that to get a + one needs to press Shift *and* = ?
IOW, g-t does zoom when it sees a Shift +, but to get that you need to press the three keys.

Please do not "fix" this... Letting Ctrl = be an alias for Ctrl + will cause strange behaviour on keyboard layouts where = and + are not on the same key.
Comment 7 Christian Persch 2011-04-25 16:58:50 UTC 
Right.
