      The Cmd + "+" KeyCharacterCombination does not work reliably on the US English layout. It has reverted to old behavior, namely that you have to first press the + key without Cmd before the system recognizes Cmd + "+".

      To reproduce:
      Use a US English keyboard or any keyboard where + on the main keyboard requires the shift key.
      Run the attached program.
      Type Cmd + "+"
      Type Cmd + "<"

      Results:
      Cmd + "+" yields no output but Cmd + "<" does
      Cmd + "+" starts working again if you press "+" without Cmd.

      Expected results:
      Both shortcuts should add some text to the text area.
