Regards, Stephan Ctrl +/- is very natural for zooming. I vote for change since it will be easier on beginners. The hyphen shortcut could easily be reverted by advanced users who are used to the current key combination. -- Julien

I do not use Ctrl-minus very often in LyX, but I zoom in and out in LyX using ctrl+mouse wheel (and rarely use Ctrl-plus/Ctrl-minus to zoom in other programs), so I have a slight preference to leave the binding as-is. /Paul
