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+"-"?

I'm pretty used to it as it is. I'm not sure we need to worry too much
about consistency here, though I'll be interested to hear what others
have to say.

I think I would support changing the bindings to be more consistent with other applications. I forget why we have things the way they are.

comfortably alongside Ctrl+space to give a protected space. (To
my mind, the odd one out is Alt+. to give an ellipsis rather
