The CTRL+scrollwheel for zooming is an excellent addition for
usability.  While you are working in this area, may I also recommend
SHIFT+scrollwheel for scrolling horizontally?

Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Fix Released

Bug description:
There's a lot to like in OpenShot, but a big issue I experience is with zooming.  I have a video project that's about 17 minutes long.  Let's say the playback head is at, say, 10:00 while the zoom slider is set to "7 seconds" resolution.  Then I want to zoom in tighter.  Using the zoom bar, it does indeed zoom in tighter... but to a spot 5 minutes earlier in the timeline.  It never centers its zooming in/out on the playback head, or on any other reference point I can figure out.  I then have to manually scroll back through the timeline to get back to where I was working.

To me, it would be ideal if the timeline would zoom in and out centered on the playback cursor, because that's where I'm working.
