The new text zoom feature is great, except that zooming in is literally bound to Command+`+` (that's command and the plus key). On PowerBooks and iBooks, `+` requires an extra modifier (shift), whereas `-` doesn't. Ideally, both would be consistent with one another.
Could zooming in be bound to Command-= (as well as Command-+)? From my quick tests, Safari and Proteus similarly support both, but Mail, Terminal and TextEdit don't (go figure).
Any opinions on this?

Same issue with zoom, which is now per default bound to keys good on powerbook (and maybe US keymaps), but not good with a keypad, where I would prefer +/-. On powerbook they end up on the two keys next to backspace IIRC.

Unfortunately it's not easy for me to do this w/o actually adding a new menu item with this key equivalent (since for the majority of keys with the command qualifier down, the key is eaten by the Carbon menu manager before I see it).
You can however change the default key either using Menu Masters or System Preferences / Mouse & Keyboard.

Hmm, I have an iBook (12", G4) and it works for me.
