keyboard shortcut change -- use shift-1 (!) for fit-in-window

I raised this in bugzilla at
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672938 and was asked to bring it to the mailing list.

Switching between 1:1 pixel-view and fit in window is a frequent operation for me as I do photo retouching. Switching to 1:1 is easy and mnemonic, with the 1 key. With 2.6, going to fit-in-window view was a kind of weird key combo (ctrl-shift-e), but I could easily accomplish it with my left hand with my right hand still on the mouse.

With 2.7, the new shortcut is ctrl-shift-j — way over on the other side of the keyboard. That's quite the stretch! For my own system, I've changed this to shift-1 (that is, !), which doesn't appear to be taken. And, it's really nicely intuitive, since 1 and shift-1 are two almost-inverse operations. Any chance of making that the default?
