In theory, it should be as simple as:

1) Add Smart Item > Keystrokes
2) Give it a name (where it says Keystrokes at the top of the right-hand side)
3) On the Keys tab, press Shift =
4) Go to Triggers tab, and press G in the Hot Key box (you'll be warned about this)
5) Above the Exceptions box, change the pop-up from Not to Only
6) In the box, type Ableton Live 9 (or whatever the app is called in your Dock)

That should do it -- repeat the process with a new shortcut for Shift Minus and H to zoom out. I don't have Ableton Live, so I can't test, but here's how the setup would look for zoom in.

I'd like to use its shortcuts in Ableton Live 9.

Is it possible, for instance, create a shortcut that will allow me to "Zoom 
In" and "Zoom Out"
by pressing "G" and "H" (this way it works in Cubase) ?

The default Zoom in and out combination in Ableton is "Shift =" and "-" and 
its sucks on Macbook Pro 15" Keyboard layout.

Best,
Igor
