This is somewhat related to 
	Issue#: 5182 (dropdown zoombox)
but I think I can't reopen an issue.

First of all, I was also confused how "complicated" it is to change the zoom 
factor of the current document, missing the ms-word-like dropdown-box. but 
Issuezilla showed me I was wrong, you implemented it in the status bar, a nice 
place, I agree. But as notebook touchpad user, this are still too many clicks 
to adjust zoom:

CURRENT:
- right click the status bar zoom percentage area
- release right button to see list of zoom factors
- move pointer to select correct zoom factor (in most cases full page or 
optimal, which are the bottom ones, someone thought there, very nice ;)
- left or right click (and release) to select

I expect other fast touchpad workers will agree with me that this are still 
much to many interactions compared with a dropdown-like handling:

EXPECTED:
- left down
- move pointer to select factor (while button/touchpad is pressed)
- release

I like this behaviour more than the current one even with a scrollwheel mouse 
(just one button down, move, release, no excessive "clicking"), but especially 
for touchpads, where you usually have different methods to press the right and 
left mouse button (e.g. left button directly via pad, right click usually a 
corner or, even worse, an ugly button you have to lift your pad finger to click 
or use the other hand) the other behaviour would be much more convenient.

This also leads to a short cross reference to Issue#: 5201 (mouse wheel 
zooming / placing of objects), which was, as far is I found out, not reopened, 
but I am also in need of the described feature:

<cut #5201>
However, the feature is not that useful now, for two reasons:
- the zoom should also pan the drawing, so that the pointer position
remains unchanged during the zoom
- holding CTRL causes snap function not to work
</cut>

sincerly,
