New issue 8043 by [email protected]: Zoom-out keyboard shortcut conflicts with 'select tab 6' shortcut with French keyboard in use. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8043 The French keyboard in France (but not in Canada) has '-' (unshifted), '6' (shifted) and '|' (AltGR) where US QWERTY has '6' and '^'. As a result, Zoom Out (Ctrl + '-') and 'Select tab 6' (Ctrl + 6) conflict with each other. In Chrome, 'Select tab 6' takes a precedence while in Firefox it's zoom- out. IE does not respond to ctrl + '-' in fr-FR layout, either. More specifically, what Firefox does is : - ctrl + shift + 'US 6' : select tab 6 - ctrl + 'US 6' : zoom out - ctrl + shift + 'US 1' and ctrl + 'US 1' (the same for 2,3,4...9 except for 6) select tab 1. It seems that there are a few other layouts with this issue. For instance, Slovak layout has '+' (unshifted), '1' (shifted) and '~' (AltGr) where US QWERTY has '1' and '!'. So, Zoom-in conflicts with 'select tab 1'. We just have a single across-locale (in this case, it's actually keyboard layout rather than locale) short-cuts and accelerators. Even if we decide to have different accelerators/short-cuts defined for different UI language, it's not clear what to do about this. Perhaps, without having separate sets of accelerators, we can do what Firefox does. BTW, there are two other ways to zoom (ctrl + mouse wheel and menu). And, obviously, tab 1 and tab 6 can be selected with mouse. Needless to say, this is not ideal from the accessibility point of view. I just realized that numpad + and - work even with fr-FR and Slovak layouts. So, it's not very critical. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
