Mnemonics for zooming are incorrect

[ronny.standtke@…]

The menu entry "View->Zoom out" has the mnemonic "Minus". Strangely, only the minus on the main part of the keyboard is working, the minus on the numpad does not work.

The menu entry "View->Zoom in" has the mnemonic "Plus". This does not work at all, not on the main part of the keyboard and not on the numpad.

Only after some weeks of usage I noticed the message at the status bar, that zooming is done via Ctrl+. and Ctrl+,

This is a speciality of your keyboard (MacOS?). Works as expected on other systems and is probably nothing which can be fixed.

[ronny.standtke@…]

No. This is Ubuntu Linux and the bug can be reproduced always. This can be fixed (other apps can handle Plus and Minus without any problem).

Ubuntu caused so many Java related problems that I wont care for it as well. Works fine with the Sun Java. If you can supply a working patch I will integrate it, but I doubt you will have success, as the only thing we do is to tell Java that the Plus key should be used. Everything else is done by Java itself.

and BTW: the Ctrl+/- is a different kind of zoom. Somehow JOSM got 2 distinctively different zooms, there are implemented in a different way and on different levels...

tested with Sun Java 1.6 on Debian GNU/Linux system:

• <-> and <+> work well on main key section
• nothing happens on key press in key pad section

... personally wouldn't care, if only one is working well

@reporter: what's your JRE and did you test alternative JREs, i.e. Sun?

JOSM now has the posibility to define own Shortcuts. This should solve this issue.

Any objections against closing it?
