Comment 16 for bug 167796

> What about netbook and laptop users without numeric keypad?

I'm currently working on adding Shift+<Num> binding for the different zooms shortcuts (Bug #181393).

> Aren't the difficulties with these two shortcuts on international keyboards tracked in bug #165755?

Yep, I totally forgot about this report ;)

I don't plan to replace the existing shortcuts, but to add new ones to cover a wider range of keyboards with the default keys file.
Since KP_8 and KP_9 are available, don't interfere with existing features and shortcuts, and are very convenient (close to the other zoom keypad shortcuts), I feel it could be a very useful addition, even for querty users.

Providing alternative files for other keyboard is a good idea, but I thing we should try to fix the issues in the default file first (when possible).
