Tooltip for Zoom In and Zoom Out are not consistent with Hotkeys List.
_Function_ _Hotkey_List_ _Tooltip_ _Shortcut_under_View_
Zoom In CMD++ CTRL++ OPT-CMD+(⌥⌘+)
Zoom Out CMD+- CTRL+- OPT-CMD-(⌥⌘-)

Of these only "CMD+-", "⌥⌘+" and "⌥⌘-" work.
Normal zoom in/out for MAC OS X is CMD++/CMD+- (⌘+/⌘-)

I think this is a case of accelerator vs hotkey confusion. The default hotkeys for zoom in and zoom our are F1 and F2 respectively.

So the _Shortcut_under_View_ is not expected to be the same as the others. But _Hotkey_List_ are _Tooltip_ supposed to be the same.

@Nick, I'm not sure what you mean in #3 but this is a hotkey versus shortcut issue. Shortcuts that have a hotkey are prefixed with Alt+ in the menu strings. Without rewriting our hotkey code, this is the best we can do at the moment. We really need to rewrite our hotkey code to distinguish between hotkeys and shortcuts so they can be presented as separate key presses with unique menu and hotkey strings since they have different behavior.

It is strange to me that the _Hotkey_List_ and _Tooltip_ is different as shown in the table OP tried to make.

On windows the shortcuts for the hotkeylist and tooltip are the same, in this case F1 and F2.
