It depends entirely on your keyboard layout. On a standard German
keyboard, for example, = is <shift>0, so C-= would mean pressing three
keys at the same time. Also on the same keyboard, - and = are nowhere
near eachother.
Also, does C-= even exist on a typical tty layout?
Also[2], C-= is likely bound to many users' personal commands.
So I think I would be against using C-= for this command.
