In Chrome on macOS, Cmd + and Cmd - are mapped to Make Text Larger/Smaller. |

Yes you are right, there is a conflict there. I've added some other comments to the discussion about this. |

The Cmd + and Cmd - controls for zooming in/out are fairly ubiquitous in macOS. Firefox also zooms in/out using these controls, as does Preview, etc. Firefox calls this action "Zoom In" and "Zoom Out" but by default a "Zoom Text Only" option is set on these options so that only the text is made bigger/smaller (however, the effect is to zoom in to the page). My suggestion was made because the default zoom in/out keyboard mappings in drawio for macOS don't necessarily work across all machines as the keys to use this mapping don't exist, therefore it would be helpful to have a mapping that works on these machines and is consistent with other macOS applications. |

I should just add that I'm aware drawio is also used in a browser, so the suggested changes to the keyboard mapping would be only for the macOS standalone application (which is what I use). Perhaps there is an alternative set of keys that could be used to keep the keyboard mappings consistent across platforms. |

You do know that there is pinch to zoom (touchpad) and enter to reset/fit the view? |

Since the OP is using desktop, I'm marking this as a duplicate of jgraph/drawio-desktop#978. |

Using drawio on a Mac laptop, it would be helpful to have a way to zoom in/out to preset levels using the keyboard. Mac laptops generally do not have a numeric keypad, so the existing Cmd + Numpad keyboard shortcut to do this is unavailable, and I find the Alt + Mousewheel combination somewhat imprecise (these zoom controls seem to operate too quickly and I do not want to zoom in to abitrary zoom levels like 205%).
Ideally (for me) being able to use Cmd + and Cmd - to zoom in/out to preset levels would be very helpful as I frequently need to zoom in to make sure flowchart elements are aligned correctly while I'm drawing them, then zoom out to see the complete flowchart. AFAIK the + and - keys to not appear to be mapped to any other functions, so this would be a helpful addition. The Cmd + and Cmd - key functionality is fairly prevalent in a lot of common macos applications, so it would be logical to add it to drawio.
Thank you!
