"When you perfrom a pinch-zoom gesture, Firefox and Chrome produce a wheel event with a deltaY: ±scale, ctrlKey: true.

This should be mentioned on the wheel event page, and probably MouseEvent.ctrlKey. The "Keyboard_event_key_values" page talks about one specific thing, which is the key value of a KeyboardEvent.
