First of all, amazing work, thanks for the opportunity to help to improve Penpot 🤜🤛

Zoom pace: I’m finding the zoom pace too big and it is impossible to reach a zoom value in between the actual values.

How it could be tunned:  
0% - 40% → +1% jump  
40% - 60% → +2% jump  
60% - 80% → +3% jump  
80% - 120% → +4% jump

From 120% forward, it could be a procedural incrementation +1 percentual unity like Fibonacci or similar

Key maps for zoom and pan:

These are alternatives to the key bindings currently set that could be added to the preferences menu:

- Pan by dragging with right click (Similar to Unreal Engine 5 Blueprints Editor),
- Zoom with Scroll wheel instead scrolling up/down
