As Derk-Jan mentioned, we need to be careful when overloading shortcuts
such as scroll.
The idea is to use regular scroll for opening the information panel when
the image is not zoomed, and to move (pan) the image when zoom is applied
which I think will meet user expectations (especially in touch-enabled
devices).
Having said that, a shortcut for zooming makes a lot of sense (especially
it it takes into account the cursor position to allow indicating the area
to be zoomed).
Using shift+scroll for zoom makes sense in this context. In addition to
that, we can have keyboard shortcuts ("+" and "-").
We can even consider using regular scroll to zoom when it happens over the
zoom control or the thumbnail overview (since the zooming intent is more
obvious there).
