Version: (using KDE 4.4.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs It would be useful to be able to change the text size in konsole using Ctrl+<mouse-wheel> (like the zoom feature in Konqueror & Firefox). This would basically just be binding Ctrl+<Wheel-Down> to the existing Decrease Text Size and Ctrl+<Wheel-Up> to the existing Increase Text Size features, which doesn't appear to be possible through the shortcut configuration dialog. Even if it is already possible to configure this through the shortcut dialog somehow, I believe it would make sense for this behaviour to be the default behaviour.
IMHO, it feels weird and inefficient if such a simple task requires one hand on keyboard and another hand on mouse at the same time. When I use konsole, I want to keep my hands on keyboard as long as possible. When keyboard can do my job, I never consider mouse. I believe many konsole users hold the same idea.
I understand your point and I agree that changing the text size shouldn't _require_ the use of the mouse, I'm suggesting that the Ctrl+Mouse Wheel option be added in addition to the existing keyboard shortcuts, not instead of them because: 1. Ctrl+Mouse Wheel appears to be at least a defacto-standard in several other applications for zoom / text resize. 2. Most of the time when I'm resizing the text it's to prevent line-wrapping and that frequently involves resizing the window (eg dragging it wider than a single monitor), meaning I've already reached for the mouse. At the least I think it should be possible to optionally configure the shortcuts that way even if it's not the default.
