What is your definition of "focusing on that area"? Focusing on the 5
for means having 5 under the mouse pointer. And that is exactly how zoom
is implemented right now. You put 5 under the mouse pointer and no
matter if you zoom in or out, it will stay there. Now how can you
possibly argue that this is not intuitive and useful? I seriously don't
understand your problem. Nor do I understand what changes you are
suggesting.

How is the center of the window relevant? What counts is what's under
the cursor as that is where you are going to work next.
