Ctrl and = togother does not zoom in (requires holding shift) despire Ctrl and - together zooming out without the need to hold shift
Tested on a live session of Xubuntu 24.10 which comes bundled with Mousepad 0.6.2 by default.
Simply put, in Mousepad, Ctrl and = together does not zoom in and instead you have to hold shift (presumably to do a Ctrl and + instead). By contrast, zooming out works perfectly fine with Ctrl and - together and does not require you to hold shift.
This is obviously quite problematic on laptops which commonly do not have a numpad.
For reference, other text editors such as FeatherPad and gnome-text-editor do not have this issue. Not shown in the video is that Thunar behaves the same as gnome-text-editor whereby you can use Ctrl and = together to zoom in as well as Ctrl and + together.
