We will try to improve the documentation here.  Just FYI, the names 
originated as symbol names used in pygtk and possibly one of the X11 
libraries before that, so can't contain non-alphanumeric characters and 
are maybe terser than they need to be.

We probably can switch to using ctrl-plus and ctrl-minus, particularly 
now that many computers don't have numeric keypads.  You can also zoom 
and out by using the scroll wheel while holding control down or you can 
map other keys to the zoom-in and zoom-out commands via the Custom Key 
Mappings on the Keyboard page of preferences.

Thanks,
