Control-shift-minus not changing zoom

Post by slickrcbd »

After upgrading to Firefox 47, I had to install NoSquint Plus as NoSquint no longer worked. NoSquint was a mission critical add-on for my failing eyesight.

I just noticed that <Control>-<Shift>-<-> no longer seems to be decreasing the full zoom when I have NS+ set to default to text zoom, and it no longer decreases the text zoom if I leave the full zoom as the default.

I tried disabling it, and I still seem to have this problem even after restarting the browser.

I wanted to know if anybody else is having trouble with this key binding, and if not, how I could go about troubleshooting it.

<Control>-<-> does work as normal.

I don't recall for sure if I've used it since upgrading, or just the control-minus for the text zoom. I'm sure I would have noticed otherwise.

I have also tried disabling Greasemonkey in case any scripts were capturing that binding, taking the "anti key-grabber" script as an example.

Here is the "troubleshooting information" which mentions what other extensions I have:

Not that I have an answer on how to fix this... I did confirm what you stated... even restarted my Test profile in safe-mode just to make sure... <Control>-<Shift>-<-> ...no longer worked... it did not work here.

On XP, the default control of Zoom is and always has been Ctrl (press and hold) then + or - or 0 (zero) to reset
the shift key is not used and the behaveior is global (used in IE and chrome

sorry if im not understand the problem... im sure this default behavior can be overridden with hacks in each browser

I'll chime in, same on Win 10, shift key has no function, only Ctrl+ (+ or -) key to zoom in/out.

Re: Control-shift-minus not changing zoom

Post by slickrcbd »

There are two different zooms. Text only zoom and full page zoom. The shift key allows you to adjust the other zoom. Which is the default can be toggled by either NoSquint or a setting in about:config. I THINK it is "browser.zoom.full", but as I have been using NoSquint to control it for so many years I cannot remember for sure and am too lazy to look it up.

In any case, control-shift-minus would decrease the full zoom, control-shift-plus would increase it. Now the control-shift-plus still increases, but I can only hit control-0 to decrease it by resetting it to the default, or double-click on NoSquint Plus and move the sliders.
