Personally, I like having Zoom Reset be Ctrl+= because Zoom In is actually
Ctrl+Shift-+, and + and = are the same key.
I can see why Ctrl+m would be a good choice though because Ctrl-m is 
usually carriage return and in effect we are returning the Zoom to what it was.

As an experiment, I've modified BasicGraphFrame so that we now use Ctrl-m.

I think I'd like to keep Cntrl-F being bring to front.
I agree with Shawn in that full screen is not often used.  I've also seen
users accidentally put programs in to full screen mode and get totally
flustered, so I think the full screen mode should not have a keyboard shortcut.
