Description
Before submitting
- I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate. The closest report, #2706, concerns configurable shortcuts and non-US keyboard layouts, not numpad keys or mouse-wheel zoom.
- I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.
Area
apps/desktop
Steps to reproduce
- Open T3 Code desktop on Windows.
- Hold Ctrl and press
+or-on the numeric keypad. - Hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel.
- For comparison, press Ctrl with
+or-on the keyboard's number row.
Expected behavior
The numeric-keypad shortcuts and Ctrl+mouse-wheel should change the application zoom, matching the number-row shortcuts. These are common zoom inputs in Windows desktop applications and browsers.
Actual behavior
Ctrl+numpad +, Ctrl+numpad -, and Ctrl+mouse-wheel do nothing. Only Ctrl with the number-row + or - changes the application zoom. Because the font-size settings do not scale every UI element, this makes application zoom difficult to discover and led me to assume that T3 Code had no whole-interface zoom.
Impact
Minor bug or occasional failure
Version or commit
Desktop 0.0.38
Environment
Windows 11 Pro, T3 Code desktop x64
Logs or stack traces
None.
Workaround
Use Ctrl with + or - on the keyboard's number row.

Research direction
Start in the apps/desktop area and trace how the application handles Ctrl with number-row zoom shortcuts. Reproduce the issue on Windows 11 with Ctrl+numpad +/-, Ctrl+mouse-wheel, and the existing number-row shortcuts; done means all three input forms change application zoom consistently.
