In gnome-terminal Ubuntu Unity 16.04 LTS the menu works for all three zoom features within the View menu:
- Zoom In
- Zoom Out
- Normal Size
Only two shortcut keys work:
- Ctrl+Shift++ works to Zoom In
- Ctrl+- works to Zoom Out.
Attempting to restore Normal Size I found Ctrl+o or Ctrl+Shift+O do not work. These key combinations perform as if the Enter was used.
My modified setup
$ cat .inputrc
# ~/.inputrc - complements /etc/inputrc - global inputrc for libreadline
# April 15, 2019
# See readline(3readline) and `info rluserman' for more information.
$include /etc/inputrc
# Insert key to togged overwrite-mode
"\e[2~": overwrite-mode
# April 22, 2019 AU Q&A: https://askubuntu.com/q/1135306/307523
# Make Shift-tab act like "cd ../" (move to parent directory)
"\e[Z": "cd ../"
Custom keyboard shortcuts
- I believe these are standard. At least I don’t remember changing them.
- I reviewed all the other shortcuts and Ctrl+o doesn’t appear.
Ubuntu skeleton setup
$ cat /etc/inputrc
# /etc/inputrc - global inputrc for libreadline
# See readline(3readline) and `info rluserman' for more information.
# Be 8 bit clean.
set input-meta on
set output-meta on
# To allow the use of 8bit-characters like the german umlauts, uncomment
# the line below. However this makes the meta key not work as a meta key,
# which is annoying to those which don't need to type in 8-bit characters.
# set convert-meta off
# try to enable the application keypad when it is called. Some systems
# need this to enable the arrow keys.
# set enable-keypad on
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/inputrc.arrows for other codes of arrow keys
# do not bell on tab-completion
# set bell-style none
# set bell-style visible
# some defaults / modifications for the emacs mode
$if mode=emacs
# allow the use of the Home/End keys
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line

Any clues?
