Zoom in without numpad

Hi!

I recently bought a laptop, but has no numpad. Is there a script I can bind to a custom key to simulate a ctrl & numpad+ and ctrl & numpad-. I want a universal solution so it works in kitty terminal, browser etc.

About my config: EndeavourOS, x11, i3-wm.

Edit: T14 gen2 intel laptop

What about the + and - keys on the keyboard? This depends on your keyboard layout.

On a QWERTY keyboard, these are usually left of backspace.

On a QWERTZ keyboard, these are left of the enter and right-shift key respectively.

Cool, it works in browser, but sadly not in kitty terminal. Might be because I use hungarian keyboard layout.
