Zooming with Cmd + Scroll Wheel Not Working on Mac

[epicwhale]

What happened?

Standard zooming functionality using Cmd + Mouse Wheel does not work in Zen mode on Mac. This feature works in Chrome but is unresponsive in Zen. Cmd +/- is working fine, it's the mouse wheel combo with cmd that's failing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Zen mode on Mac.
2. Attempt to zoom in/out using Cmd + Mouse Wheel (expected behavior: text size increases or decreases).
3. Observe that no zooming occurs.

Expected Behavior:
Using Cmd + Mouse Wheel should adjust the zoom level, similar to its behavior in Chrome.

Actual Behavior:
No zooming occurs when using Cmd + Mouse Wheel. Using Cmd + “+” and Cmd + “-” works as expected, but scroll-based zooming does not.

Attempting Control + Mouse Wheel also does not work (it only scrolls the page).
