Details

The keyboard shortcut for increasing the text size is labeled as ctrl++.  This
is actually not how it is implemented.  To make the text size larger you must
actually us ctrl+=.  The distinction seems academic because the two are on the
same key most of the time with the shift as the difference between the two. 
However, most keyboards have a stand alone plus on the number keypad.  I was
confused as to why ctrl+- decreased the text size but ctrl++ did not put it
back.   (I was using the + and - on the number keypad.)   

The plus on the number keypad should work, or the shortcut sholud be relabeled
to use the equals sign.  (Preferably the former.)
The + on the numeric keypad works fine in the Linux 2001063006 build. Can you
give me some information on which build you're using, what platform, what OS,
and where?
I have this problem in 0.9.2 on Windows 98. Looks like it's a Windows only problem.

Not so sure this is an editor thing. Sounds more like some mapping is missing in
the Windows key handling code.
