Not the ultimate solution, just a few thoughts I'd like to add:

- In future traverso will probably have a display mode "follow play head", 
which keeps the play head centered during playback (or at least jumps forward 
as soon as the playhead leaves the viewport). Zooming horizontally should 
then center on the play head rather than jumping back to the work cursor.

- I don't understand your point 3) in respect to horizontal zooming. I think 
horizontal zooming should always work on all track simultaneously.

- Point 4): That would be one solution, but somehow I would prefer a separate 
key action for vertical zooming of one single track. On ch_de keyboard layout 
Z and T are adjacent and would be ideal. Not on english layout, though.
