Terminal menu view|zoom in/out shows ctrl++/- shortcut but numeric keypad doesn't implement

[JohnWashington]

The menu for the terminal shows View|Zoom In and Out, with shortcuts ctrl++ and ctrl+-. Using the numeric keypad for this doesn't work. This is especially irritating for ctrl++, since on many keyboards this requires a shift as well. Besides which, typical users are familiar with using the numeric keypad for this in other applications, such as Firefox.

Repro'd using 12.04 daily build 2012-04-07 i386 with a UK keyboard layout. Also verified on 10.10 i386 using a US keyboard layout.
