That's interesting, for me those shortcuts are with option, not command. On my laptop, the first shortcut you wrote down is used to zoom out.
It’s ⌥ instead of ⌘, and those exact shortcuts depend on keyboard layout. You posted the US version, but others reverse the em and en dashes.
Or on Linux with the compose key, it is also different.
I tried some of these today, unfortunately it seems they’re not universal across programs.
