[Problem]
(I may be misinterpreting this; apologies if so, it's late).
On French keyboards, the "0" key actually produces a "à" if used with no modifiers. Various applications are set up with shortcuts for ctrl+0, but having to type ctrl+shift+à to use them is inconvenient. No apps really use ctrl+à since that's a non-standard shortcut, so instead treat it the same as ctrl+0.

[Original Report]
Nautils allows you to resize icons with ctrl ++ or ctrl+- and to reset icons sizes with ctrl+0 (the key combination is displayed in Natilus menu)
But ctrl+0 doesn't work in Intrepid alpha 6

ctrl+shift+à (on a french keyboard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#French ) works whereas ctrl+0 doesn't

can we evaluate that bug report from a usuability point of view ?

On a desktop keyboard, you can zoom in/out with ctrl+ +/- and ctrl+0 is just below, it would be very practical to use it.

Besides, this is the expected behaviour since Ubuntu has Firefox as default web browser wich allow ctrl+0 to reset the size page

Moreover, Nautilus menu itself says that you have to key ctrl+0 to reset the size
