For macOS, there is already a mac.bind file, and it already defines Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- for zooming. The attached patch just does that single change. unnamed2.patch Maybe it's time to ship a Windows-specific bind file? In that case, the zoom shortcuts would move to Ctrl+something, like for macOS and most Windows apps, the hyphen would then become Alt+-. As I understand the current code, the problem would be that this file would be almost a copy from the standard file (with just a few changes), there is no possibility to "include" another set of shortcuts. What is the most usual shortcut in the Linux world (I'm using a singular to refer to some kind of average over the two zillions distributions)? For Firefox and Chrome, it looks like Ctrl++/- ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/font-size-and-zoom-increase-size-of-web-pages, https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/326698/google-chrome-accidental-zoom/326729), LibreOffice also uses Ctrl+something ( https://www.libreofficehelp.com/how-zoom-libreoffice-writer/). Maybe it's best to switch to Ctrl+something for Linux too (and still have the same file as for Windows), because current software seems to have settled on this shortcut? That means reassigning the hyphen to Alt+-. unnamed3.patch
