I have a strange behaviour in Acrobat Reader 11.0.3 and Strokes+ 2.7.1

I have assigned two global gestures and actions:

<\ Down> does:
acSendKeys("^{PLUS}")

</ Up> does:
acSendKeys("^{SUBTRACT}")

equivalent to <CTRL/+> and <CTRL/-> so pretty well everywhere these will zoom in and zoom out of the current application view.

Except in Reader.

acSendKeys("^{SUBTRACT}")

zooms out exactly as expected, but

acSendKeys("^{PLUS}")

does a rotate clockwise – which is <CTRL/SHIFT/+> in Reader

so – in effect, Reader appears to be seeing an extra SHIFT on that particular acSendKeys call. <CTRL/+> from the keyboard works as expected.

Other applications are not seeing that – for example Firefox does nothing (visible) on <CTRL/SHIFT/+> from the keyboard, but does zoom in with the acSendKeys combination, which shows it's not getting the <SHIF>. I have the same gestures firing off different actions in specific applications which zoom on different key combinations, and those work just fine too...

Any ideas/workaround?

I use [Ctrl]+[Numpad+]/[Numad-] for zooming. Give it a try:
acSendKeys( "^{VKEY 107}") -- [Ctr]+[Numpad+]
acSendKeys( "^{VKEY 109}") -- [Ctr]+[Numpad-]

Fab - many thanks - excellent workaround that works just fine in Reader and everywhere else I've looked so far.
