Sorry, I was confused.  image-map defines +/-/r/o.  Of those, the only
collision with shr-map is o.  I think we can move o out of the way in
shr-map and leave it there in image-map.

So I think we could just keep all those key bindings...  +/- feels
really intuitive to me.

I'm not sure users would really want to set the scale like that...
Increase/decrease is natural, but "set the scale to 50%" would be a very
unusual user interaction, I think.
