Today I update the Google Chrome browser version to 68 and Now I couldn't zoom in or zoom out a page by using Ctrl + Mouse Scroll action, Do they have changed the page zoom In/Out shortcut keys on Chrome 68 ?
OS: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
By default, Chrome sets the zoom level to 100%. To manually adjust the settings, use the Ctrl key and “+” or “-” combos to increase or decrease the page magnification. If you are using a mouse, you can hold down the keyboard Ctrl key and use the mouse wheel to zoom in or out.
As it turns out, one of the most common causes that will trigger this kind of behavior is a stuck CTRL-key. If you didn't know, if you press any of the CTRL keys and scroll upwards or downwards, the mouse's scroll will produce zooming.
1. The quickest and easiest way to use the Zoom control is through keyboard shortcuts. Press Ctrl and + (plus) while Chrome is active to zoom in. Press Ctrl and – (minus) to zoom out, or Ctrl and 0 (zero) to return to the default size.
According to this discussion, the issue is not getting fixed. However, there is a chrome extension mentioned there, which solves the problem. Here you can find how to install it, if you never did this.
Edit: It's now available on the chrome web store
I did not write this extension, all credits to the original author.
