whishlist: keybindings for zoom
Last modified: 2005-02-21 10:51:04 UTC
In order to be able use evince without touching the mouse it would be nice to have keybindings for zooming. I would expect either + and - or ctr-+ and ctrl-- to work. Other information:
well, they do (Ctrl+ and Ctrl-). At least on my box. Do zoom keybindings work in e.g. epiphany ?
No they don't work in epiphany either (version 1.4.7), but they do in dia (and firefox - but that isn't gtk). Does this mean that it is a problem with a gtk/gnome widget ? I don't use the full gnome desktop environment (xfce instead) not sure if that influences applications like epiphany. My gtk version is 2.6.1
What is your keyboard setup ? US, or something else ?
Yep default "us" qwerty and I don't use any localization or keymap configs. As it appears now ctrl+ and ctrl- do work when I use the '+' and '-' that are between the 0 and the backspace. But they don't work using the '+' and '-' at the numpad. Same thing with epiphany, so this bug/problem probably isn't evince specific. Notice that in for example dia both '+' keys do exactly the same. Would be nice though to be able to use the numpad keys for this - For the '+' this is a bit easier not having to use the shift key. - It confused me, so it will probably confuse other people.
Ok. There are discussions about implementing this (zoom with numeric keypad) directly into gtk+ - see bug 105183 which was filed against epiphany. Integrating the functionality directly in gtk+ would solve the problem once and for all apps.
