I personally suggest following: different keybindings for increasing and
decreasing. I would like <modifier>++ and <modifier>+-, because it's
logic. Another thing I would like is Ctrl+ mouse wheel (mouse button 4
and 5) because it's implemented in lots of other applications.

I don't know how to implement the last thing in Gtk (I don't know
anything about it), but it should be possible with binding a mouse event
(button 4, 5 with ctrl modifier).

I don't think that super_l is very useful since many keyboards (e.g.
laptops) have no windows keys.

Very good filemanager!

Let me mention another two things. One thing is I wrote in the xfce
mailing list (not the developer one) but got no real reply. It is not
possible to bind '.ps.gz' to a postscript viewer like gv. I would really
like this because most Postscript viewers can handle them without using
gzip manually. At least it should be done with editing the regarding file, 
but it doesn't work. :-(

And I saw that the German translation is incomplete. Because I'm a
native German I think I can do that work if you and Benedikt (who
translated the things that already are translated) don't object.
But I would like to use real umlauts (not ae but ä) because it looks
more professional. I know, I must save it as utf-8 ...


Regards,
Bernhard
