Keyborad shortcuts that cause zooming/unzooming text should IMHO be "+" and "-" (on the numpad), as in Opera. These keys are generally not used while browsing (if focus isn't in <input> text field or something similar) and they are more convinient than current shortcuts.

reporter: have you ever used mozilla? if so can you specify a build id and indicate what did work and what did not?

OK, build ID is 2001101117 (milestone release 0.9.5) for Win32. I'm not sure you understood well, so I summarize it again: current kbd shortcut status (in mentioned build) --------------------------- Make text bigger: Ctrl++ Make text smaller: Crel+- I ask "why Ctrl?", and my idea is: Make text bigger: "+" on the numpad Make text smaller: "-" on the numpad Is it clear?

fwiw I'm opposed to this for mozilla traditional bindings, i would not mind seeing an alternative set of bindings that match opera or lynx which could use this. The distinction between what we have now (<ctrl>+<+>/<ctrl>+<->) and what the reporter wants (<numlock-plus>/<numlock-minus>) is that mozilla's keybindings were designed to be triggered only intentionally (ctrl+<somekey>). Many people have asked us to create a set of keybindings similar to lynx's, and i can imagine this suggestion would fit nicely with that. In the interim you can probably set this up yourself.

http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html shows how to set up custom key bindings. However, it would only work if zoomtext is exposed as a browser-window command, and I don't know the answer to that.
