The bindings for font size change are :- C-x C-+ C-x C-- Going native and being consistent with other apps on the platform is a plea= sant experience; and, for beginners, it makes plain and simple sense, at le= ast until, they've done the tutorial and have tried `M-x customize'. Being unable to na=C3=AFvely change the fontsize means the beginner has to = endure the struggle of reading the wrong sized font for them initially. Or,= every beginner has to hit a search engine to discover how to make the chan= ge for themselves. Lastly, the Command-Plus-or-Minus is a simple two finger combination press = which is easier to type than the C-x separately followed by C-plus-or-minus= . Other native platform keybindings are already there out of the box, such = as, Command-W. -- Van L
