Description cranetester 2023-02-10 08:45:36 UTC
Description:
I would like to use to control+- to zoom in and out and I suspect so does virtually every other user. Very strange that this big standard functionality is not included.

Steps to Reproduce:
try zooming in and out of documents with the standard shortcuts

Actual Results:
doesn't work

Expected Results:
ctrl+- should zoom in and out like in every other application people use. I don't think there is even any shortcut assigned to this standard feature (ctrl+scroll or mouse click on tiny symbol in the corner don't qualify as shortcuts)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:

It's possible to do it by customizing your shortcuts in Tools - Customize - Keyboard. Look up the command "Zoom in" and "Zoom out" and associate a shortcut with it.

The question is: should we provide this as default?

In Writer the shortcut "Ctrl +" is currently associated with the command "Calculate".

Let's hear from the UX team.

Implemented since 7.1 are .uno:ZoomPlus and .uno:ZoomMinus allowing keyboard function to match <Ctrl>+<MouseWheel> progressive zoom.

Tools -> Customize -> Keyboard and search from the "Functions" bar for zoom. As noted the "Zoom In" and "Zoom Out" found correspond to the above UNO. Assign to keys (with function highlighted, select the key from panel above, and "modify" to apply, repeat for both).

Personally I find the <Ctrl>+[ and <Crtl>+] from Adobe practices to be most comfortable, unlike the + and - pair which requires a Shift.
