A lot more lately I've been using the shortcut keys for the - Zoom Too... % . Ctrl+Shift+= on Windows.
Not really a big deal IMO. Once you do it awhile it becomes second nature to get the percentage value inquisitively. The Ctrl+mouse wheel is I'd think the norm for must people.
. Yeah it would certainly be nice to have all these type's of feature's. But for the most part I try not to let the lack of them slow me down. Much. Haven't kept up with the request vote count so don't know the size of the demand on this feature. To me it's, it's, well, yeah sometime's it's a hassle I guess.
Try the shortcut though. It's a good thing to get use to. I found it easy and now use it a lot more often.
P.s. It also IMHO should center the playback marker on the screen or to the upper left so no other screen manipulation is needed after the Zoom To... %. is entered. So you are where you want to work then?
