Feature Request: Zoom to Cursor

[slagernate]

It would be really convenient to be able to either:

1. zoom to cursor (as is possible with in other 2D CAD tools). I think it could be possible with some tcl, and perhaps someone has already done this. I got close but couldn't quite crack it (it would zoom nearby, but always with some significant offset).

OR

2. zoom fit the current box (perhaps I missed something and this is already possible? Perhaps this may be easier to script with tcl). (this is common in e.g. xschem or otherwise).

For now, I have resorted to centering the view to a box and then zooming into the box. If I figure out the tcl for either of these I will be sure to post it here.

Regardless, huge thanks to the maintainers 👍

@slagernate Does ctrl-Z zoom to the defined box? The console command is findbox zoom. findbox by itself centers on the box.

ah, that's pretty much all I need.

Up to you if you'd like to close the issue (I still think new users would like a zoom to cursor capability).

edit: zoom to cursor would be especially useful in scenarios where the box is being used for something else and cannot be moved --at the current moment one must use a combo of panning and zooming with z/ctrl-z, when zooming to cursor would be much faster.
