QListView, QListBox, QIconView, etc support BOTH Shift and Control as 
fast-scrolling modifiers. they swing both ways, so to speak. ;-) it's really 
a matter of which one to steal for zooming needs. QTextEdit and KView have 
chosen Control, and that makes sense.

As for KTextEdit, here's the appropriate code:


void KTextEdit::contentsWheelEvent( QWheelEvent *e )
{
    if ( KGlobalSettings::wheelMouseZooms() )
        QTextEdit::contentsWheelEvent( e );
    else // thanks, we don't want to zoom, so skip QTextEdit's impl.
        QScrollView::contentsWheelEvent( e );
}

so if we do scroll with the mouse wheel, we use QTextEdit's wheel event 
handler. and that means Control to zoom.
