Cannot ZOOM text in Eclipse 4.4.2 LUNA

Question

I am trying to make my Mousewheel + CTRL work as a zoom shortcut. it suddenly stopped working.

I also noticed that (CTRL + =) and (CTRL + -) shortcuts no longer work either.

Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

I reinstalled eclipse, installed the tarlog plugin etc.. haven't been able to fix it.

This might help.

Press Ctrl + Shift + L twice to get the "Keys" Preferences
Type "zoom" in the textbox on the top
You will get "Zoom In" and "Zoom Out" commands
Check their binding (in my case, it shows Ctrl + = for "Zoom In" and Ctrl + - for "Zoom Out" options)

Thats the weird part. I am able to bind them, but it wont work once looking at the source code – user3256369 Mar 21 '15 at 11:25

@user3256369 - Have a look at the `.log` file (or `Error Log` view) for any key binding errors. Also ensure that the `When:` option has `In Windows` in key binding. – KrishPrabakar Mar 21 '15 at 16:38

tried it, still no luck. ill keep the log open while coding and let you know if anything pops up – user3256369 Mar 21 '15 at 20:02

Is 2016, same issues. Ridiculous that this doesn't just work. – Ernesto Aug 10 '16 at 17:20
