- on Mac OS X Cmd-Shift-= (i.e. Cmd-+) is the standard key for increasing the size of the text. Currently, its Cmd-=.

It will break on keyboard layouts that are not QWERTY or that are heavily modified QWERTY.

When I designed some things in the default DD keyboard bindings, I only had US keyboard and CF-family keyboards in mind (french QWERTY used in Québec) and then someone notified me that I couldn't distinguish Alt +Shift+1 from Alt+1 because 1 is already shifted in AZERTY (it's Shift-&, whereas & is not shifted).

German QWERTZ has = on Shift+0 and * on Shift++, meaning + is unshifted ; however, Swiss QWERTZ has + shifted as Shift+1, and then there are other QWERTZ than that...


It'd be something to test, Cmd-+ might work as a keybinding, and would then work on other keyboards. Or perhaps you can just bind to both Cmd-Shift-+ and Cmd-+. For other platforms, its not a big deal since the keybindings are not very consistent. On Mac OS X, they are quite consistent across OS and apps, so people notice wrong bindings a lot more.
