Description Vassilis Chryssos 2021-12-15 12:45:49 UTC
Description:
One of the most used functions while I'm working with writer documents and calc spreadsheets is the zooming in/out. This affects the working (not print preview) window. Surprisingly it's unnecessarily difficult to set custom keyboard shortcuts for this. 

Keyboard zooming in/out should be enabled by default.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Need to zoom in
2. Have to take hands off keyboard and use the mouse
3. Not easy to assign shortcut keys to zoom in/out - Majority of users does not know how to do this

Actual Results:
Frustration, low efficiency

Expected Results:
enhanced efficiency


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Suggestion: assign zoom in/out to keys by default
Comment 1 V Stuart Foote 2021-12-15 13:18:25 UTC
Since the 7.1 release, the commands 'Zoom In' (uno:ZoomPlus) and 'Zoom Out' (uno:ZoomMinus) provide consistent canvas behavior for Writer, Calc and the Math-Formula editor modules.

Users do need to assign their preferred keyboard shortcut(s) via Tools -> Customize

There is no "default" keyboard assignment, that was intentional. The customization is highly personal and depends on user preference/experience.

Work (easy hack of bug 45705) remains to adjust the same zoom in/out commands for use with Draw & Impress
