During a flight I'll occasionally take a screenshot using the v key. I also zoom in and out using the plus and minus keys. Sometimes I'll hit the b or c key while trying to take a screenshot and it will lock out my plus & minus zoom keys. Anyone know what key to hit to unlock the zoom?

You have simply "unselected" the zoom.
+ and - are assigned to "increase selection" and "decrease selection". The selection can be several things, the zoom is one of the examples, the magnetos are another (pressing M key).
If you want to reselect the zoom, you'll have to use the key that resets the zoom to 1x. I don't remember the original assignation in FSX, I modified the keys to make them identical to FS9, so for me it's BACKSPACE.
