Hi,

the hotkeys "Strg++" and "Strg+-" (using German language and German key layout) for Zoom in / Zoom out are not working.

I switched WinMerge to German in my English Windows version (XP) and shortcuts worked fine.

Tim, can you check this too? I assume you have a German Windows..

Mhh, I have no problem with the Zoom shortcuts if I use the font "Lucida Console". I tested it on a German Windows XP Home.

Just to be sure - you are talking about font selected in WinMerge, not Windows GUI font?

Lucida is True Type font, so it is not about bitmap fonts unable to zoom.

I have a German keyboard attached (system language is English) and the shortcut keys do not work.

Hi, I am using a fresh Win7/winmerge 2.12.4.0 install with german keyboard and language settings. I can confirm that the shortcuts still don't work.

As alternative I would appreciate being able to set the initial zoom factor during startup or in the options.

Thanks,
Stefan

I also noticed issues zooming on 2.14.0.0 Unicode. The issue appears to be that the Zoom shortcut Ctrl + and Ctrl - are only looking for the NUMPAD key codes, rather than the -/ +/= keys.
