In Ai you can use "CTRL+SHIFT+<" or "CTRL+SHIFT+>" for decreasing or increasing selected text font size. This shortcut is common shortcut for changing font size in many apps In Ai CTRL+scrolling mouse moves canvas.

I assume you are trying to scale text in a container.

Switch to the scale or transform tool. Illustrator does not have a quick key like CTRL.
