Hi 🙂

I can't use a keyboard shortcut to zoom out.

Indeed, in the display menu, there is no shortcut for zoom out (Zoom arrière in French):

My keyboard is a Logitech K780.

I tried adding the line:

{

"command": "zoomOut",

"accelerator": "Ctrl+)"

}

to the keymap-desktop.json file, because the ) key is located between 0 and +, which work for reset zoom and zoom in, but it didn't work.

**Do you know why and how to add a keyboard shortcut for zoom out?**

I have Windows 10 and the issue is present on two different PC.
