Well, since you are at this, as far as I know every single browser on
the market (be it IE, Opera, Mozilla, Galeon, Konqueror) is configured
by default or can be configured to zoom the text with ctrl+mouse-wheel.
Which might seem useless for laptop users but is crucial for normal
desktops, since about every single mouse sold nowadays has a wheel (or
more).
Of course, there had to be an exception and in this case the exception
is Epiphany (single reason why I could never stand it btw) - which is
kind of strange since this is one control that would not clutter the GUI
and infringe on the HIG. Therefore I propose :
- that Epy be fixed to conform to the de-facto zooming standard
- that ctrl+wheel be used as alternate zooming control in all apps that
need one (preferably keeping the same direction as + :)
Another good thing would be to standardise the actions of the fourth and
fifth buttons one can find on some mice (not counting the wheel), but
right now they are still in the minority and no common usage has emerged
yet I think
