How to zoom in & zoom out
While using 10.04 and the previous versions I used to put Ctrl+F6 to zoom in and subsequently Ctrl+F7 to zoom out. Now (using 11.10, Unity) I can't even find the options to zoom in and zoom out in the "keyboard shortcuts". I tried "the Magnifier" in the Compiz but really can't understand what is going on right there. There is simple question I would like to ask:
What to do so as to be able to zoom in with Ctrl+F6 and zoom out with Ctrl+F7?

Every time I enable it in Compiz, and close out, it is immediately disabled again. In fact, if I click to enable it, and wait a few seconds, it automatically un-checks without explanation.

This comment is rather off-topic maybe, but I want to thank you because your answer has helped me to solve my problem. No, not directly, but indirectly, because it inspired me to go deeper in the Zoom Options. Well, in my case, cat walkef over the keyboard, and all the screen was super-zoomed because of that. And it was a persistent problem. Inspired by your answer, I checked the Universal Acccess and saw that the Zoom Options was "on". I set it "off" and everything went back to normal.

Other than the Compizconfig Settings Manager, a new configuration tool is now available called Unity Tweak Tool.
Open Dash (by tapping on Super) and type "Unity Tweak Tool".
If it is not available, you can install it from the software center (Unity Tweak Tool ), or you can install it from the terminal with:
sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool
Open the application, and from the icons choose General under the Window Manager section.
Once you click General, enable the "Desktop magnification" option at the top. And you can change the default keyboard shortcuts of the Zoom In, and Zoom Out functionalities.
As seen in the next screen-shot, I have the Zoom In set to Ctrl+Super+Z and the Zoom Out set to Ctrl+Shift+Super+Z
Personally, I prefer including the Super key to all system wide shortcuts so it won't interfere with a certain application's shortcut.

CtlShift- to reduce
CtlShift+ to increase
I found you also need the + from numerical keypad not the one next to the backspace button

Gnome Shell / Ubuntu 18.04+
With Gnome shell instead of Compiz as Window Manager (wmctrl -m):
Super+Alt+8: Toggle zoom enabled/disabled
Super+Alt++/-: For zooming in/out
Notes:
- Yo can change this shortcuts on Keyboard > Universal access settings.
- Not work with numpad +/-. If "+" doesn't work try "0". Source.

C-+ and C-- are simply passed through to the client window, and many applications, e.g., Google Chrome, interpret it. Hence it "works" in that that one window zooms. But they don't affect the screen-level zoom, where the pixels get magnified (hence the screen appears fuzzy), and moving the mouse pushed around the image.

May 26 '16 at 14:30
@Quigi is right -- in particular, I'm looking for a way to zoom in for an application that didn't implement zoom. I think any well-designed application should interpret ctrl+ and ctrl- as zoom, but not all of them dod.

The question wasn't so much about what spare buttons can be used but where/how to configure them. Pressing PgUp/PgDn alone won't zoom anything without further configuration.

CtlShift- to reduce
CtlShift+ to increase
I found you also need the + from numerical keypad not the one next to the backspace button

Gnome Shell / Ubuntu 18.04+
With Gnome shell instead of Compiz as Window Manager (wmctrl -m):
Super+Alt+8: Toggle zoom enabled/disabled
Super+Alt++/-: For zooming in/out
Notes:
- Yo can change this shortcuts on Keyboard > Universal access settings.
- Not work with numpad +/-. If "+" doesn't work try "0". Source.

C-+ and C-- are simply passed through to the client window, and many applications, e.g., Google Chrome, interpret it. Hence it "works" in that that one window zooms. But they don't affect the screen-level zoom, where the pixels get magnified (hence the screen appears fuzzy), and moving the mouse pushed around the image.

@Quigi is right -- in particular, I'm looking for a way to zoom in for an application that didn't implement zoom. I think any well-designed application should interpret ctrl+ and ctrl- as zoom, but not all of them dod.

The question wasn't so much about what spare buttons can be used but where/how to configure them. Pressing PgUp/PgDn alone won't zoom anything without further configuration.

In Xubuntu VMs you could also do:
FN + ALT + Mouse Zoom
