Actually, regular + and - also work, not necessarily the numpad ones (which is particularly welcome for laptop users). Maybe Shift++ and Shift+- could be mapped to something else, like zoom twice as fast that with + and -? This is common for video or audio players: right and left arrows jump 1 sec, Shift+arrows jumps 5 secs, CTRL+SHIFT +arrows jumps 10 secs etc.

The problem is, on most keyboards, regular + already requires Shift. So for consistency, we map = and +, with and without Shift, to zoom in; and - and _, with and without Shift, to zoom out.
