Use case or problem
Currently the zooming shortcuts that utilize the standard keyboard + & - keys do not work with the same keys that are present on the numeric keypad. It’s a bit confusing. At first I thought the reason they weren’t working was related to the specifics of what I was working on. I didn’t realize until later that those keys were not functional zoom shortcuts anywhere. I originally filed this as a bug report, but was informed it was a feature request.
Hotkeys/shortcuts assigned to the standard page up, page down, home, & end keys translate across to the numeric keypad versions. It seems to only be the numeric keypad’s + & - keys that do not function for zooming.
In the settings Obsidian will properly recognize & function if you assign something else to them (e.g. numeric keypad + to toggle the pinning of a note). At this point the numeric keypad’s + key will now toggle the pinning of a note, but the standard + key will not (it will continue to function as a zoom key).
Obsidian treats the two visually (and usually functionally) identical keys as actually being different. I understand that this is likely because they really are different keys, but it’s confusing & misleading to the end user.
Proposed solution
Obsidian recognize that different keys that have the same symbols on them are the same key to the end user & match hotkey/shortcuts across them (e.g. standard + and numeric keypad +)
