Side note: this can be *really* confusing on non-US keyboards.

The "=" makes sense on a US keyboard, because it's really "ctrl-+" without the added need to press "shift".

On many non-US keyboards, there is no such arrangement of +/= on the keyboard.

So on a Finnish keyboard, for example, the sequence to make the fonts smaller is "ctrl--", but the sequence to make them larger is "contr-shift-0". Which makes *no* sense what-so-ever, but the "=" sign is "shift-0".

Oh, well. On a Finnish keyboard, "ctrl-+" would make tons of sense. I always try it, and am frustrated when it doesn't work.
