[SOLVED] keyboard shortcuts for zoom in/out of st terminal not working

Hi,

I am having a problem. I install st terminal from this page: https://st.suckless.org/.
I found some of this in config.h file

Code:

	{ TERMMOD,              XK_Prior,       zoom,           {.f = +1} },
	{ TERMMOD,              XK_k,       zoom,           {.f = +1} },
	{ TERMMOD,              XK_Next,        zoom,           {.f = -1} },
	{ TERMMOD,              XK_j,        zoom,           {.f = -1} },

But I can't change the font size or zoom in/out the terminal st by the keyboard shortcuts like Alt+Shift+PageUP/PageDown or Alt+j, Alt+k, Alt+Shift+j, Alt+Shift+k

What is I am missing? May be a patch?

We are missing the whole picture:
What does any part of this C snippet actually do?
I guess of particular intrest is TERMMOD and KP_*.
In other words, what keyboard shortcut is supposed to de/increase font size?

Another important question: does the chosen font scale?

I found this in config.h

Code:

/* Internal keyboard shortcuts. */
#define MODKEY Mod1Mask
#define TERMMOD (ControlMask|ShiftMask)

This means TERMMOD is Ctrl+Shift. So, Ctrl+Shift+PageUp and PageDown are to zoom in and zoom out st terminal.
sorry for the post. I found it myself. :-)
