A couple of possibilities...

1. Your operating system might do something with those shortcut keys, 
and not pass them on to LibreOffice.

2. More likely - There are two "levels" of assigning shortcut keys in 
LibreOffice - those for the whole suite and those for an individual 
application. In the Customise > Keyboard dialog, at the upper right, 
there is an option to flip between assignments for "LibreOffice" (the 
whole suite shortcuts) and "Writer" (or whichever application you're in).

If the same shortcut key is defined for both, the one for an individual 
application takes priority when in that application. In Writer, Ctrl++ 
is assigned to "Calculate" and Ctrl+- is assigned to "Optional hyphen" 
(at least for me). If you assign those keys to zoom in and out at the 
"LibreOffice" level, they will not have that effect when in Writer; 
you'd need to remove the assignments from the Writer level (and likewise 
for Calc etc. if you want them to work there too).

I hope that helps.

Mark.
