Description Florian R. A. Angermeier 2012-02-06 07:48:20 UTC
I want to propose a - i guess - simple improvement of the useablity.

It is at least affecting Writer (including Math and Web), Calc, Impress and Draw. I am not sure if there the possibility of zooming in Base.

Shortcuts for "Zoom in", "Zoom out" and "Zoom to 100 %". I have tried to find them but have not found one so I guess there noones at the moment. If I am wrong please let me know.

Ctrl + "+" and Ctrl + "-" are not free so they can not be used.

I would suggest:
(Ctrl +) Alt + "+" for "Zoom in"
(Ctrl +) Alt + "-" for "Zoom out"
(Ctrl +) Alt + "0" (Zero) for "Zoom to 100 %"

And maybe:
(Ctrl +) Alt + "2" for "Zoom to 200 %"
(Ctrl +) Alt + "5" for "Zoom to 50 %"

Anyone else who is interessted in such improvement?

Thanks for new idea
Such functionality exist in InkScape. May be assign shortcuts as there for users not re-learn shortcuts?

Meanwhile, enable experimental functionality in settings, record Basic macros for this. Use Tools->Macros->Record macro.
Then assign produced macros to shortcuts. Use Tools->Customize, tab "Keyboard", category "LibreOffice macros"

On Tools> Customise >Keyboard is is possible to attach the function Zoom in and Zoom out from the View category. Unfortunately these do not work even though Zoom does, but this is not that much use as a shortcut.

Confirming with 4.1.0.0alpha0+ (master) for Writer, Calc and Math.
In Impress/Draw it works – with some hickups:
* only Alt-– and Alt–+ work, Alt-0 does nothing;
* it doesn't work immediately after opening a file, you have to click the
  document area first
* when editing text, it doesn't work either.

In Mac OS X, CMD+ and CMD- are the standard keyboard commands for zooming across all applications, and it is quite disorienting to have otherwise in LibreOffice. 
As a special case for OS X, these shortcuts should be used (I believe they do not clash with anything else). (In particular, Draw currently counter-intuitively uses shift-+ and - to zoom).
