Description Christian Rose 2001-06-02 19:21:32 UTC 
The default keyboard shortcut for "zoom in" is Ctrl+=, and this does not
work on a Swedish keyboard: "=" is Shift+0 on a Swedish keyboard, and
Ctrl+Shift+0 does not work for zooming in in Galeon.

Ctrl+- however, zoom out, does work. This is not a composed key on Swedish
keyboards.

I checked my list of keyboard layouts, and Denmark, Italy, Netherlands,
Norway, Switzerland, Spain, Germany, also have "=" on some Shift combo.

Also, mpeseng@tin.it verified that this does not work on an Italian
layout either.
Comment 2 Matt Aubury 2001-06-13 16:12:06 UTC 
I'm open to suggestions about what these should be changed to.

See my thoughts about this on similar bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57394 .  Is it possible to
make non-alphanumeric shortcuts like these differ between translations?
Comment 7 Matt Aubury 2001-08-30 10:44:51 UTC 
Dan: it's certainly hackable. The GDK keycode for "=" is the same as
the ASCII keycode, IIRC. So it can be put into a single character
string and sucked out at run time. Hideous, I know :-)

I almost did this once but wasn't entirely happy and never got to
commit the change. It should work though, but needs a *big* comment
to explain to translators what's happening.
Comment 8 Daniel Erat 2001-09-09 05:02:12 UTC 
What about just using Ctrl+Number combinations for these?  Something
like Ctrl+8 to zoom in, Ctrl+9 to zoom to 100%, and Ctrl+0 to zoom out.

I know number key shortcuts suck, but at least these will work on
keyboards from all locales (I assume).
Comment 9 Christian Rose 2001-09-10 12:35:19 UTC 
Isn't CTRL+digit already bound for tabs?
Comment 10 Daniel Erat 2001-09-10 14:44:43 UTC 
Nope, tabs use Alt+Number.
