Agree! It would be useful also for non-field work I think.

Note that for some keyboards Ctrl++ is actually Ctrl+Shift++ or then it could be Ctrl+= (this is because many keyboard layouts have the "+" above the "=" sign).

it doesn't zoom and changing the shortcuts doesn't solve the problem.

They don't zoom and it's intentional - they just activate the mouse zoom tool.

I think that this behavior is not useful, having a keyboard
shortcut that implies using the mouse afterwards does not
make sense. By default, I would link Ctrl++ to zoom in and re-center
to current cursor position, and leave
[[PageUp]] as it is (zooming with no re-centering).

I'm re-opening this because
I find the current behavior (just changing the
cursor icon to + or - but not actually doing
anything) pretty useless, and, any case, in contradiction
with what is said in the Configure Shortcuts lists:
there it says
Action: Zoom in

and the action is not zooming in. Instead,
Crl+SHft+F does not just change the cursor icon,
but actually does what is supposed to do, zooming
full.

At least, the next action after Ctrl++ could be just Return, thus
avoiding the use of the mouse, which is the goal
of a keyboard shortcut. But the ideal would be
just zooming in straight away after Ctrl++

How about the first Ctrl++ sets the mouse control and then any Ctrl++ following that does the actual zooming in. That way users who are familiar with just pressing the Ctrl++ and then using their mouse can use it that way, and users who want this feature can still have it. [I know this is old, I am seeing if we can close a few bug listings]
