Is it though? MS Office doesn't have this shortcut. Neither does Inkscape; it
uses Shift+Minus and Shift+Plus for Zoom-Out and Zoom-In respectively (which LO
could not, since those combinations type a character in LO).

Well, if Ctrl+Plus and Ctrl+Minus (In reply to Buovjaga from comment #2)

Does it? I don't seem get a hyphen with Ctrl+Minus.

There is no option for their display there, at least not in LO 25.8.

But those are much less intuitive, for a feature that's in much wider use than
manually calculating fields in Writer. As for the soft hyphen, that's more of a
conundrum. Could we possibly split the behavior of Numpad Plus/Minus and the
main keyboard keys for minus/underscoe and for equals/plus? So that
Ctrl+main-keyboard-Minus gives us the soft hyphen but Ctrl+Keypad-Minus changes
the zoom?
