Click any shortcut to edit it. Press the keys you want to assign as commands. Zoom keyboard shortcuts will change automatically. For example, you can press multiple keys such as Alt + Shift + 9 or you can press only one key such as 9, and assign it as a shortcut.

If you want to use any shortcut set for Zoom even though you are a different application, click the 'Enable Global Shortcut' box next to the shortcut key.
