[Python] How to zoom out with Selenium in Python?

An element exists but I cannot see it on a web page. So I cannot click on it. To access the element, I have to zoom out of the page.

When I use code

browser.execute_script("document.body.style.zoom='40%'")


the page zooms out well. But the element I wanted to reach is stuck at the top of the page and not accessible for clicking anyway.

I expected to zoom out the page by pressing a combination of keys Ctrl+'-' with Selenium but failed to get any result. I tried this code

import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

with webdriver.Chrome() as browser:
browser.get('https://some_address/index.html')
time.sleep(1)
element=browser.find_element(By.ID, 'some_text')
actions=ActionChains(browser)
actions.key_down(Keys.CONTROL,element) \
.key_down(Keys.SUBTRACT,element).key_up(Keys.SUBTRACT,element) \
.key_down(Keys.SUBTRACT,element).key_up(Keys.SUBTRACT,element) \
.key_up(Keys.CONTROL,element).perform()


but zoom out does not work.
