However, by default, in LyX, this has a very problematic side-effect: Alt+0
resets the zoom level to zero. Personally, I know how to configure this
shortcut, but newcomers may be left puzzled (and leave completely).

Moreover, it's more common to use Ctrl+0 to reset the zoom level, at least
on Windows: most Web browsers do it (at least Firefox, Chrome, and IE), all
Microsoft Office programs. It does not work for LibreOffice or Notepad++.

I would propose to change the default binding to Ctrl+0, as it's more
common (although not ubiquitous), and this would fix the problem of
changing zoom when you try to insert a character.

What do you think of this?

There are also zooming shortcuts Alt+"+", Alt+"-". To be consistent these should also use Ctrl. But Ctrl+"-" is already bound to Hyphenation Point insert. Is it OK to rebind it to Alt+"-"?
