I'm left-handed, so I'm using my left hand to hold the pen of the graphics tablet. When zooming, I use my right hand to press the + and - key on the numeric keypad. Having to press the Apple key to zoom requires me move my left hand to the keyboard to press the left Apple key, which isn't a big deal, but cumbersome.

Zooming would be easier if it wasn't necessary to press the Apple key -- unless of course this would clash with an input field having the keyboard focus, the text tool being active etc.

You can alternatively use Option + Command whilst scrolling to zoom in or out on your canvas, and if you have a trackpad with your computer, you can just use a pinching gesture. sadly, you can't make your own shortcut for Pixelmator Pro (like this: https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/m ... lp2271/mac ) as it already has a shortcut assigned to it...
you can also use the Command key on the right side of your SpaceBar (If you're not already doing that!)
