Jag tells me that to make Ctrl++ work on Windows (increase font size), he would have to define Ctrl+Shift++ (for + above =) and Ctrl++ (for the numeric keypad). Currently only Ctrl+= works. Also, in composer, Ctrl+B doesn't work if Shift is held down. It works fine in wordpad and most other Windows apps that define Ctrl+B but don't define Ctrl+Shift+B. If Mozilla gets a keyboard shortcut with shift in it but doesn't see a binding for it, it should try the same shortcut without shift. This would partially solve the problem of Ctrl+(puntuation) being hard to internationalize and would make Mozilla's behavior closer to that of other Windows apps.

A more general solution is bug 70630, "reduce keybindings by allowing modifiers to be ignored".

This bug seems bogus to me; we should definitely *NOT* ignore a keybinding modifier in all situations (such as shift). Control-B *should* be distinguishable from Control-Shift-B. WordPad sounds broken to me. The problem of Control-+ vs Control-= on Windows sounds like a platform problem. As for bug #70630, that might be a solution (when implemented) for the +/= issue on Windows but it isn't meant to reduce the number of keybindings available. AlecF--I hope you don't mind, I'm resolving this as WONTFIX.

See also bug 139106, "Cannot switch tabs with CTRL or ALT or SHIFT pressed".

no, that's not the same - from an implementation point of view, modifiers + mouse is different than modifiers + keybindings - disregard that last comment.
