Yes, there are shortcuts for that. Right now the zoom (also called 
magnifier) has the following shortcuts available:

Enable/disable: Alt Super 8

Zoom in: Alt Super =

Zoom out: Alt Super -


In any case, that are the default shortcuts. For some people find the 
need to press three keys (or use = instead of + for zooming out) 
somewhat complex. You can configure it on gnome settings control:

Settings->Devices->Keyboard

On the list at the right you can find all the available shortcuts. If 
you go down a little you would find all the Zoom shortcuts, and the 
possibility to edit them.

I hope that helps.

        At the moment, the magnification of a part of the screen can be
        adjusted with a factor. <br>
        Is it possible to increase or decrease the magnification quickly
        and easily using keyboard shortcuts? My mother usually uses the
        factor 2.0, but sometimes she increases it for a short time to
        enlarge a badly readable menu or something similar. After that,
        she resets the screen magnification factor to 2.0 using keyboard
        shortcuts.<br>
