You can add a variety of Zoom commands to the Quick Access Toolbar.
Right-click on the QAT, choose Customize, then "All Commands." Down at
the bottom (among the Z's), you'll see a variety of "Zoom" commands --
I'd guess that the one called "Zoom ..." puts the box for typing an
exact value onto the QAT; you can experiment with the other ones (just
put them all on, see what they do, and remove the ones you don't want
by using Customize again). Once you find what each of them does, you
can assign a key combination to it in the same Customization panel --
when you type the command you want to use, it will tell you whether it
is "[Unassigned]" or is doing something else. If the "something else"
is something you don't need a shortcut for, go ahead and click
"Assign." If it would affect you, try some other combination. (It
looks like you don't even need to put a button on the QAT in order to
be able to assign a keyboard shortcut to a command.)
Thanks, Peter. I certainly will avoid ctrl+Z for assigning a keyboard
shortcut.
I tried the multiple pressing of the bottom left (-) on the sliding bar and
it does do the shrinking each time I pressed that circle. The Zoom icon on
the ribbon can only be set with one fixed %.
Do you know where i can find a list of all Windows commonly defined keyboard
shortcuts so I can avoid using them?
Any way to assign a key (ctrl+?) to this (-) circle at the left side of the
zoom sliding bar at the bottom? (i.e., the Zoom-In or Out command). Thanks
so much.
