Ran both side by side, and it is quite a bit bigger, I also think it is an
entirely differnt font.

The HIG suggests Ctrl++ and Ctlr+- which on further inspection is fine.
We can worry about Ctrl+= later, HIG suggests using it for Zoom 1:1 but i
would prefer if it was also bound to Zoom in because on my keyboard Ctrl++
is actually ctrl+shift+=.

The more i think about Zoom the more i think that "Show All", makes more
sense as Zoom (to Fit, or something).
