In the latest Firefox, you can add little + and - buttons to the toolbar. That way, you don't have to use your feet.

I keep my keyboard on the floor to make it easier
The next big thing may be touchscreens on desktop PCs. Lots of greasy fingerprints. Or footprints maybe.

Here's a list..
Left Ctrl + Left shift is fun. Seems to change the keyboard layout. (its related to IME)
Cheers
Probably my most used is Win + M, minimizes _all_ windows. ...Jim Thompson

Footprints, definitely. I generally have my feed up on the desk, and use a trackpoint keyboard in my lap.

Um, that's standard for all Windows applications...
Doesn't work in Agent, or Thunderbird, Notepad, Foxit, Paint, etc. It does work in Word and Visio.

Have you tried control-keypad-plus or control-keypad-minus? They even work in most Linux apps.
Cheers! Rich
In Thunderbird use CTRL + To enlarge text and CTRL - to reduce.

Both Explorer and Mozilla uses Ctrl-+ and - AND ZERO. Ctrl-0 resets it to normal.
The difference is that Mozilla does NOT scale images up and down, and Explorer DOES.
So, in Firefox, etc., one gets text scaling. In Explorer the entire page scales.
Wrong, as always. Firefox scales everything with ctrl+wheel. Images on a web page with text, or one jpeg on a screen all by itself. Ctrl+ and Ctrl- work the same way.
Tbird scales images with CTRL+- but not with the mouse wheel.
I don't know about IE. Haven't opened it in years.
