I just played around on a couple of applications and noticed that 
nautilus accepts this method, but then Thunar and Thunderbird does not. 
They prefer the space or return method. I didn't even think to use + 
and  - when faced with that situation, although thinking back to when I 
worked for Microsoft I used it often, but this was a while ago now and 
with earlier versions of windows and file manager. I am guessing most 
people wouldn't know what to do here and would not try the + or -,  I 
could be wrong, but that's my guess. No laughs here, just a few chuckles :)
