Unsolved 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
useShortcut
and itssequence
property :Shortcut { sequence: StandardKey.ZoomIn onActivated: zoom(true) }
Your issue is mentionned in this section of the QKeySequence documentation.
