I object (even though Xara has it that way). Zoom is a very common operation.
It is a very common operation, but nearly all the zoom operations are already mapped to the number keys and to +/- anyway, so in practice I find the zoom tool itself is not that needed.
I mentioned already how I believed improvements to zoom could be made independantly of any other changes. There are a variety of common expectations and many people expect a variety of keys for zoom so supporting a few different things seems inevitable.
I will try to take a fresh look at it soon. Others can probably already mention various ways of working with Zoom they are familiar with from other programs and might like to be able to use in Inkscape (beyond just the keybindings, at least considering the menu items and possibly more).
