Ctrl++ Ctrl+- do not work

[alobo]

Shortcuts Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- just change to a `+ or - sign, but do not actually zoom

Agree! It would be useful also for non-field work I think.

Note that for some keyboards Ctrl++ is actually Ctrl+Shift++ or then it _could_ be Ctrl+= (this is because many keyboard layouts have the "+" above the "=" sign).

it doesn't zoom and changing the shortcuts doesn't solve the problem.

They don't zoom and it's intentional - they just activate the mouse zoom tool.

well... the important is to know it! :)

I think that this behavior is not useful, having a keyboard shortcut that implies using the mouse afterwards does not make sense. By default, I would link Ctrl++ to zoom in and re-center to current cursor position, and leave PageUp as it is (zooming with no re-centering).

I'm re-opening this because I find the current behavior (just changing the cursor icon to + or - but not actually doing anything) pretty useless, and, any case, in contradiction with what is said in the Configure Shortcuts lists: there it says Action: Zoom in

and the action is not zooming in. Instead, Crl+SHft+F does not just change the cursor icon, but actually does what is supposed to do, zooming full.

At least, the next action after Ctrl++ could be just Return, thus avoiding the use of the mouse, which is the goal of a keyboard shortcut. But the ideal would be just zooming in straight away after Ctrl++

How about the first Ctrl++ sets the mouse control and then any Ctrl++ following that does the actual zooming in. That way users who are familiar with just pressing the Ctrl++ and then using their mouse can use it that way, and users who want this feature can still have it. [I know this is old, I am seeing if we can close a few bug listings]

This sounds very reasonable! Agus
