keyboard shortcuts for 50% view, etc

I have not been able to get the keyboard shortcuts for < 100% view (2, etc.) to work since as long as I can remember. The ones for 100% and greater ('1', '2', etc.) seem to work fine.

If I activate the shortcut key editing dialog and try to set the shortcut manually, e.g. 2 for 50%,
instead of displaying 2 it displays "@" (which is the normal character for 2 on my keyboard) and it works fine.

Does anyone else have the same issue?

Is there something I am missing, or are the shortcuts simply not working in my (fbsd) build?

I get the same behavior, running GIMP 2.8.10 on Win32 XP. (Though in my case I generally zoom via mousewheel not keyboard so I wouldn't have noticed.)

Bug? Shift+2 == @, but you'd think that all keyboard shortcuts should use the actual scan code for the key(s) and not its logical input value.....

I rebind those to brish size and hardness, but the { and } bindings also dont work for me as shift-[ and shift-} but only as { and }

Thanks for the verification.

Bug? Shift+2 == @, but you'd think that all keyboard shortcuts should use the actual scan code for the key(s) and not its logical input value.....

I say bug because it is, according to the Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts menu/ +View dialog, already assigned.

How the mapping is done would depend on where in the stack one did it. I could see a case for doing it either way.

Gimp has an interesting issue for shortcuts, I think (I'm not familiar with the code) Chars/keycodes are not mapped the same all the time. You want normal characters, such as @, when entering text; but the rest of the time you want it to be a shortcut. Which means it has to be mapped in two different ways depending on the state. It obviously does it correctly / according to the docs/interface for some characters, but not others.

I have not been able to get the keyboard shortcuts for < 100% view (2, etc.) to work since as long as I can remember. The ones for 100% and greater ('1', '2', etc.) seem to work fine.

Actually, on closer inspection it appears to be this one instead: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676494
