The + and - keys are already bound to the zoom factor in desktop and timeline (not the + and - keys on the numeric keypad though). Interestingly, you can type + and - sings inside the octave field in the software keyboard, which is probably a bug.

hello :) honestly it doesnt have to be the -/+on the keyboard just any 2 keys are fine.
i dont have a fully functional midi keyboard only the mashine jam wich is horrible to play as a midi keyboard without the intended software. so i play with the build in software-keyboard on my gaming keyboard. for jaming and recording it would be a huge workflow increase. :)

Is PgUp/PgDown an option?
Maybe we can add a full-blown keyboard between the timeline and the desktop.
Ok, we'd still need a way to move the key-bindings between octaves.

i dont know if they are allready used but the closest keys that are not used for actual playing notes are the , and . key but page up/down looks cleaner and there are no other keys you could hit by acciden.
