"Time compression" in \db\interface\buttons.txt?

[Titan79]

Hi,

I was trying to change the current keys for time compression ("ctrl +" / "ctrl -") with the more convenient "+" and "-" but found, to my dismay, that the commands aren't apparently listed in that file.

Does anybody now if they can be found somewhere else? And, if they are not: would it be possible to assign time compression simply to "+" and "-" instead? Currently these two keys serve to zoom in/out and, while this could make sense at the time EU2 was first released, I think they're totally useless now when 99% (100%?) of the player base has a mouse with a wheel on it which works much better for that purpose, making the use of the ctrl key redundant.

The + and - keys are used for raising the demand for gold in the peace negotiations, too.
And while many people may have a mouse with a wheel I think there are a lot who use FtG on their laptop as FtG runs still fast enough on older or slower systems that might not run EUIIII or IV.

Ok, that makes sense.

But what about adding the relative lines in buttons.txt, thus letting the user change them as he sees fit?
