Feature request - zoom last

Post by Phil »

I'd like to make a suggestion for an addition to the zoom options - zoom last. Often when zooming in tight, particularly for node editing, I'd like to zoom out just a bit to the last spot I was at in the drawing. Currently I have to F6 to see the whole screen then zoom back in. It would be more convenient to be able to zoom to the last view in many situations.

I agree that it would be nice to have more hot keys for functions. But I've found it easier to Zoom and Pan by using a Mouse with a Scroll Wheel.
By rolling the mouse wheel forward and back zooms pretty fast. (with the mouse pointer being the center of focus)
Using the mouse wheel like a button and pushing it down and holding it down over your drawing allows you to pan the entire drawing.

I do all of my work on a laptop, there is no scrollwheel.

I also do most of the design on a laptop when not in the shop, and my old habits made me purchase a USB optical mouse, it does make things so much easier.

But would still like to see more hotkeys
