[Ctrl-+] key-combo is disabled.

[A. Richard Miller]

Please enable the [Ctrl-+] key-combo in Geany, to Zoom In on text.
[Ctrl--] works, and [Ctrl-0] works.
This problem exists at least in Ubuntu 15.10 and 16.04, using their current version of Geany.

Did you hold the shift key down? On a qwerty keyboard, you need the shift key or you get [Ctrl+=] instead.

Thank you, Chow Loong Jin! I apologize; when your explanation arrived, I was away and did not see it - until this expiration notice.

Yes, holding the shift key DOES cause [Ctrl-+] to work (to Zoom) in Geany.

But WHY does Geany require this very inconsistent (and unknown to the casual user) addition of the Shift key, for [Ctrl-+], although [Ctrl--] and [Ctrl-0] perform as expected? Can you please refer me to an explanation of the basic need for this inconsistency in Geany? IF it must continue, can Geany provide a better prompt to warn the casual user?

The default keybinding is [Ctrl]+[+]. If your keyboard layout requires a modifier to reach [+], then you need it there too.

You can however rebind *View/Zoom In* to [Ctrl]+[=] in the preferences (Preferences/Keybindings) if you like.
