I use ctrl+ the number pad to change the point size of fonts. I just got thinking, it would be nice to use the same commands for making the current selection larger or smaller too. Maybe 2 and 8 would be down and up by 1 percent of current size and 4-6 could be 1% of original size. 5 would be 'return to 100% of original size.
And then I thought, if I post it to the forum, one of the other geniuses here would tell me that a command already exists and then I'd know what it is.
So now I wait...
Mike,
You can try to modify Font Size List and then use
Ctrl+NUMPAD6
Increase font size to next setting in Font Size List
Ctrl+NUMPAD4
Decrease font size to previous setting available in the Font Size List

You mis-understand. I already use those, I'm talking about non-text objects.
Hello Mike,
Perhaps this stopgap solve your question (although it is not a Shortcut).
Suppose you have an object 100 x 100 mm and you want to increase its size by 10%.
To do this, use the "calculator". Into fields "Object size" type [ +10 ] (plus sign and the number ten).
This action will make you have a proportional increase (on all sides), or partial (only width or only height),
depending on whether the icon "Lock Ratio" is ON / OFF..
Thanks silvio, I know that maneuver. Just looking for a keyboard shortcut. Mainly for when I'm getting different things to 'look' the same size.
I'm a great user/fan of keyboard shortcuts. I can not tell for sure how many of them I have memorized. I personally prefer to use shortcuts instead Dockers (although they are very useful). To avoid "clog" my desktop with many icons I try to memorize shortcuts as much as possible that I created.
I also agree with your suggestion about the possibility to resize objects via the keyboard.
