Do not assign a function to plain Z or apostrophe/double-quote. These keys are used as an extra click-to-place shift key in the camera view, and any Z or ’/” keyboard operation will be performed over and over while the key is down for click-to-place.
The Reset Zoom action does three somewhat different things: with no shift key, it resets the camera view so the image fills the view. When the shift key is depressed, it resets the camera view so that the image and display pixels are 1:1 in the horizontal direction, ie the image is “full size.” If the control key is pressed, then the camera view is centered within the area, instead of put at top-left. Consequently, you need to set up your key assignments so that the fill operation is un-shifted, and the 1:1 operation is shifted, etc.
The same thing applies to other buttons whose functionality depends on the mouse button. If you shift-click a button to do something, then the function performed will still depend on the shift setting of the keyboard accelerator key.
There may be other gotchas scattered through the possible actions; you should be sure to verify their function in testing before trying them in your big important scene file. You can check the undo button to verify the function performed, for example.
The “My Layout” action sets the viewport configuration to one named “My Layout” so that you can quickly access your own favorite layout.
