How can I let users use control + + for zoom in and control + - for zoom out?

The problem is that + and - share keys with different characters on different keyboard language layouts. On some layouts a shift modifier is required to generate the + sign, but when the control modifier is pressed, the shift modifier seems to have no effect.

The code below for example works on a Swedish keyboard layout, but not on US/UK keyboard layouts where the + is generated with shift + =.

Keys.onPressed: {
    if (event.modifiers & Qt.ControlModifier) {
        if (event.key === Qt.Key_Minus) {
            zoom(false)
            event.accepted = true
        } else if (event.key === Qt.Key_Plus) {
            zoom(true)
            event.accepted = true
        }
    }
}

This has been tested on Mac.

I would like to find a general solution that works on all keyboard layouts.

Instead of Key.onPressed use Shortcut and its sequence property :

Shortcut {
    sequence: StandardKey.ZoomIn
    onActivated: zoom(true)
}

Your issue is mentionned in this section of the QKeySequence documentation.
