We now ship compiz enhanced zoom enabled, but with no keyboard or mouse 
bindings. I think this is possibly the single best feature that the 
Ubuntu desktop has over other operating systems so I would like to make 
it easier to use for more people.

Right now I use super+button4 to zoom in and super+button5 to zoom out. 
So I hold super and roll the mousewheel to magnify the screen at any 
time. I also disable the overlay hint thing because it gets in the way, 
but if someone is going to fix that so if you hold super and do 
something else it doesn't get in the way that would be great too.

I would like to get the super+button4/5 bindings in by default (this is 
just a simple change to /usr/share/compiz/ezoom.xml to add a couple of 
lines like: <default>&lt;Super&gt;Button4</default>)

what do you think?

Alan.
