Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18363.0 Microsoft Windows NT
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Windows Terminal (Unpackaged) Version: 1.2.200825001-release1.2

Steps to reproduce

Try to increase font size by pressing <C>+=

Expected behavior

Font size increases

Actual behavior

Font size does not increase

Additional observations

  • Font size decrease with <C>+- works. So does reset with <C>+0
  • Manually mapping <C>+= to increase font in settings.json works as a workaround - but it shouldn't be necessary, this should be default setting. This is what made it work: { "command": { "action": "adjustFontSize", "delta": 1 }, "keys": "ctrl+=" }

First, you're using a version of Terminal that's a couple months out of date (and you're using it in an unexpected/unusual configuration (Unpackaged)).

Puzzlingly, this binding is in the default set. I wonder what's up.

Puzzlingly, this binding _is_ in the default set. I wonder what's up.

TL;DR: When upgrading to v1.3 and installing by way of .msixbundle as opposed to rename/unzip/repeat it works by default.

I'm happy to explain what the original setup was nonetheless.

There was an AppLocker issue, so I installed by manually unzipping as you explained here: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/6046. That's why it's Unpackaged.

I don't know why I installed the old version, that just happened so, I guess. BUT, thanks for pointing it out, I now tried installing the new .msixbundle v1.3 and tada now AppLocker no longer complained and the problem is solved.
