I'd strongly suggest you don't do this.
Firstly, it's completely non-standard. Users are used to cmd-<blah> for menu actions, so odds are they'll see the equivalent, type cmd-3 say, and nothing will happen.
Secondly, if you ever need to add text input to your app, even just a single field, you'll have to rewrite all those menu equivalents so you can enter these characters.
Thirdly, Zoom All? What does that even mean?
Fourthly, as far as I know, I don't think unmodified equivalents are supported. If it so happens to work on some, you got lucky (or unlucky, since it's led you to believe this was a good idea).
