This won't be handy IMHO. Zoom in/out and Pan shortcuts are really
usefull only during digitizing. So putting them as far right as '+' and
'-' don't make much sense. Their location should be somewhere at the
very down left of the keyboard - say 'z', 'x'. A shorcut for Pan
could be put there too, eg. 'a'. So the right hand would now be free
to ride the mouse at a decent pace. But what would the left wingers
feel about it?

Or, even better, if shortcut key settings would be customizable. But
this might be a bit too much as for now ;).

Best,
Maciek
