Hi, JFDNancy,

I noticed the issue as well, but I think it's not in our powers, for now, there is a bug/problem in Electron for this: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/6731. It seems solved, but I think this seems to still be an issue or we should differently configure/customize the menus.

So the key combination ctrl+shift++ actually gives a Javascript keycode for ctrl++, but ctrl++ actually gives a key combination for ctrl+=.

I think it also depends on keyboard layout and chosen keyboard language in your OS settings, for my keyboard it is the same as yours (i.e. ctrl+shift++ gives key '+', and ctrl++ gives key '=').

You can check which keycode is actually triggered on this site: https://keycode.info/
