It appears my original reply went direct to logos; copied here for the

No need to wait for a software update - you should be able to customise 
your keyboard shortcuts to do almost anything:
- From the menu: Tools > Customise
- Open the "Keyboard" tab
- In the list of shortcut keys in the top half, select "Ctrl++" (it's 
already assigned to do something else on my setup, but you can change that)
- From the functions list, select:
  - Category: View
  - Function: Zoom In
- Click "Modify", and Ctrl++ should now be assigned to zoom in rather 
than whatever it did before

Do likewise for Ctrl+- and Zoom Out.

You can assign keyboard shortcuts to work across all LibreOffice 
applications by selecting the "LibreOffice" to the right of the shortcut 
keys list rather than the single application name. However, you may have 
to remove application-specific assignments (e.g. for me, by default, 
Ctrl++ is assigned to "Bring Forwards" in Impress, to "Calculate" in 
Writer and to "Insert Cells" in Calc - those shortcuts would override 
any LibreOffice global shortcut unless I removed them.

Mark.
