Description Alan Horkan 2003-05-23 16:32:58 UTC 
The HIG recommends 

Zoom In    Ctrl+ +
Zoom Out   Ctrl+ -

and 
Zoom Normal Ctrl+ =

I really dont like this because on my keyboard to get plus I need to type
both Shift and =, which is fairly cumbersome.  
I think that Ctrl+= should also work for Zoom In although it need not be
shown in the menu.  Ctrl++ makes more sense on certain types of keyboard
layout and if Ctrl + = is also supported I suspect users wont even think
about the fact that they only pressed Ctrl + = when they actually needed to
press Ctrl + Shift + =.  

A different shortcut should be found for Zoom Normal (1:1).  
Mozilla uses Ctrl+0 (that is Zero not the letter O).  

Which I think is fairly reasonable.  The 0 key is conveniently located next
to - and + and that Ctrl 1-9 often used in many applications for recent
documents (although if you wanted to have as many as 10 recent documents
available you might want Ctrl+0).

The reason I finally posted this report was because of a recent change
to the Gimp:
