Allow zooming in text with Ctrl+
Last modified: 2015-06-23 05:59:20 UTC
Currently pressing Ctrl and - will zoom out text. I got stuck for several minutes trying to figure out how to zoom in again. The trick is to press Ctrl AND Shift AND + all together. I would have expected it to work without needing Shift. I figured it out by observing that I don't need to hold Shift to type - but do need to hold Shift to get a + instead of =
So you want a ctrl + = shortcut :) Maybe it will be more clear if we use the + and - of the keypad in addition to the already existing shortcuts ? ( well, at least for those with a keypad... )
"+" is "shift" AND "="
It is also true that for example with Firefox, both ctrl + = and ctrl shift = works.
Should be easy enough to add an additional keybinding. The purpose initially was to copy the workflow from gnome-terminal.
(In reply to sébastien lafargue from comment #1) > So you want a ctrl + = shortcut :) Yes :)
Created attachment 305886 [details] [review] keybinding: add <ctrl>= to increase font size (zoom in) Currently, we need to press <ctrl><shift>= (which is <ctrl>+) <ctrl>= already exist in some apps like Firefox.
