Description

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Description with steps to reproduce

(Edited after @bkunda comment)

  1. change the zoom in shortcut in + and the zoom out shortcut in - (the same for the hyphen in lyrics)
  2. add lyrics to some notes by Ctrl + L and some hyphens with -
  3. in LYRICS INPUT MODE, if you press + the sign + appears; if you press - it zooms out.

Why is that? The behaviour is incoherent: + writes + but - enables the zoom.

No source file or test is identified in the report. Reproduce the shortcut configuration and lyrics input steps, then trace the lyrics input mode's handling of + and -; done means both shortcuts behave consistently with text entry in that mode.
