Computer tip: Ctrl + enlarges text

I use shortcut keys. Most people probably rarely use them. However, there's one I think that's really useful and people should know.

Press 'Ctrl' and '+' to enlarge the text.

This should make long articles easier to read.

In most browsers:

Ctrl +  makes the text larger

Ctrl -  makes the text smaller

Ctrl 0  set the text to the original size

Also, hold the Ctrl key and scroll the mouse wheel also changes the size of the text.

They also work in some word processors (e.g. MS Word) and PDF readers etc. In this case, they're more like zooming in and out.

I know it's useful for someone who just got a new 10-inch netbook in Taiwan. hehe. Even for me, my notebook has a 15-inch screen. I still press Ctrl + on most web pages. I don't like straining my eyes.
