Ctrl++ shortcut does not always work

Description (last modified by Russell Taylor) (diff)

The Ctrl++ (Command++) shortcut to increase the font size in script windows does not work if you actually do Ctrl+Shift++ (it does work on the keypad).

This is a 'known' problem, exacerbated by the fact that the + symbol is not in the same place on all keyboard layouts. See the following two links for details:

(In [12105]) Fix the fact that the zoom in & out shortcuts on the script window had somehow been set to be the same. Re #2094.

In [14709]:

Zoom in shortcut on script window works for Ctrl-Shift-= (+) on the main keyboard. Re #2094.

Closing this as wontfix, but in fact it's a cross between that and fixed.

The last change fixed it on my (linux) pc, but not for the Mac or Windows it seems. I don't think it's worth worrying about though. Other changes coming under #3719 will make it more obvious how to change the font size via menus, and less frequently required anyway.

Turns out it works on my Windows XP laptop (British keyboard), so it's 50-50 success for me.
