Forwarding this bug report from a Ubuntu reporter: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/275320 [Problem] (I may be misinterpreting this; apologies if so, it's late). On French keyboards, the "0" key actually produces a "à" if used with no modifiers. Various applications are set up with shortcuts for ctrl+0, but having to type ctrl+shift+à to use them is inconvenient. No apps really use ctrl+à since that's a non-standard shortcut, so instead treat it the same as ctrl+0. [Original Report] Nautils allows you to resize icons with ctrl ++ or ctrl+- and to reset icons sizes with ctrl+0 (the key combination is displayed in Natilus menu) But ctrl+0 doesn't work in Intrepid alpha 6 ctrl+shift+à (on a french keyboard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#French ) works whereas ctrl+0 doesn't can we evaluate that bug report from a usuability point of view ? On a desktop keyboard, you can zoom in/out with ctrl+ +/- and ctrl+0 is just below, it would be very practical to use it. Besides, this is the expected behaviour since Ubuntu has Firefox as default web browser wich allow ctrl+0 to reset the size page Moreover, Nautilus menu itself says that you have to key ctrl+0 to reset the size
To me it looks like the application/tookit issue. Or configuration issue. If you add second layout (say, US), it should work ok at least in gtk apps. If we put 0 into third level and make Ctrl a switcher to the 3rd level, you'll get O when you press Ctrl-à. But it won't be Ctrl+O (because Ctrl will not be Ctrl any more). We had hot discussions about same thing in Russian layout, when, for example, Ctrl-Щ is not recognized as Ctrl-O in shortcuts - but adding US layout fixes that, at least in proper gtk apps (it was an issue for Firefox for a looooong while).
for the record, Epiphany 2.27.92 just got a fix about that : Reset font size with ctrl+0 from num block (#573624)
