           Summary: Default Keyboard zoom requires three fingers
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: kde-2 dotancohen com


Version:           SVN: Version 0.10.0-beta2 (rev.: 832007) (using KDE 4.0.83)

Although most applications specify "Ctrl +" for Zoom In and "Ctrl -" for zoom out, every program that I've ever encountered is liberal and allows for "Ctrl =" instead of "Ctrl +". This saves the user from holding the shift key to turn "=" into "+". However, Digikam insists on having a literal "+" and will not accept "=". Please correct this for the default behaviour, even though the user can set a different shortcut. Thanks.

What other apps?
digiKam tries to follow KDE HIG lines and there is no allowance for
Ctrl+= . Also in other KDE apps I tried Ctrl+= isn't working.
IMO this should be reassigned to general KDE usability.

In Konqueror, for instance, the user can hold the Ctrl key and depress the "=+" key to have the text enlarged. This does not work in Digikam. In Digikam the user must hold Ctrl and Shift together and then press the "=+" key to increase the thumbnail size.

I can't confirm this, CTRL+= does nothing in konqueror on my system.

In Konqueror (as a web browser, not as a file manager), in order to make text larger, on your system requires Ctrl-Shift-"=+"? I just checked and the default Konqueror setting is "Ctrl =" for konqueror.

To be clear, "=" and "+" are on the same key. When pressed without Shift, the "=" character is produced. When pressed with Shift, the "+" character is produced.

Although Konqueror performs as expected, I just tested with some other KDE apps (Konsole, Marble, Okular) and they all expect Ctrl-Shift-"=+" as well. Every non-KDE application (Mozilla products, anything MS, Gnome programs) do not require a three-fingered keystroke to increase zoom/font, even though the keyboard shortcut in those applications is labeled as "Ctrl +". It seems accepted that although the "+" character is the Shifted version of the key, keyboard shortcuts that enlarge / zoom work with the non-shifted version "=".

I see that this is not a Digikam issue, so I would like to move it to the appropriate Product. I don't see a Useability Product, and nothing else looks relevant. I don't know what "Bindings" is, but might that be the place (as in Keyboard Bindings)?

Thanks.

Bindings is for script languages (Python, Ruby). This is about libraries here, kdelibs/kdeui maybe.
Note: On my keyboard, "+" is first on its key, "=" is secondary on the "0" key. Perhaps devs have never encountered your problems.

I don't see "kdeui" so I moved the bug to kdelibs. I hope that someone knowledgeable will step in and put the bug in the right place.

Although I don't live in the US, this laptop did come from the states and has one key for both "=" (regular) and "+" (shift). This key is directly to the left of the Backspace key (some keyboards have "\" between the two). Looking at other keyboards and googling, this seems to be the standard.
