Zoom into playhead keyboard shortcut

Post by boufertus1 »

Hello! I am just trying to work out if there's a way of using a keyboard shortcut (or assigning one) to zoom in and out on the timeline, but to the current playhead. Can't seem to find anything about it in the manual or online. Any help much appreciated - thanks! :)

The only zoom is the one you make with the "Z" button, but when I need to see a blowup of a frame without the need to blowup my project window, I keep open the New Zoom Window (under View).

You may also use Alt + RMB + move Left / right to zoom in / out the timeline :)
(The same way you can zoom in / out the drawing area.)

Alt+RMB works fine for zooming (in / out) into the timeline, but infortunately don't stay focusing (centered on) the current frame (playhead position),
maybe it could be improved by extending this feature with a Ctrl+Alt+RMB for timeline Zoom + keep (pin) playhead (current frame) on the middle of the timeline window ...?
