Why is the action controlled by 3 and ` in the first example? These keys ARE NOT close in other keyboards distributions like Spanish, where both are nine keys apart.
If you're using a different keyboard layout, just create a different keys/default.xml file which would reflect the proximity and availability of keys on your keyboard. If you submit it to us (and most importantly, commit to maintain it so it does not get behind), it will be a great service to all users of Spanish keyboards, but this is no reason to make it less convenient for the users of English/US keyboards.
Caveat: Not all keys are currently remappable via default.xml, only global verbs. But this is fixable, and all we need to fix this is a push from someone who needs this. If we hear people saying "please make this and this a global verb, I want to remap it," I will try to help as soon as I can.
And even with that, it still doesn't recover zoom position. 3 works but ` doesn't. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. The equivalent menu option "Previous zoom" works, thought.
Most likely your keyboard just issues some other keycode on pressing this key. Again, it's only you who can investigate that and propose a fix.
Actually a switch key would work better. Like push 3 for zoom in, push 3 again to zoom back. I don't like the idea of keeping Q stroked.
That wouldn't work. We have much more zoom keys - 1, 2, 3, 4 etc all have their functions. Not everyone zooms in with the intention to zoom back again. If you want to zoom to selection _again_ and instead it zooms you out to some previous zoom, it wouldn't be good usability. So, a single key which travels back through your history of zooms is a much better solution.
