A better smoother way to zoom in and out is holding Option or Alt + the Scroll Wheel, i find it faster for my workflow. Shift + Scroll Wheel is another good one too to scroll horizontally

I made a list of every one of the shortcuts. I have used a lot of them over the last 12 years and forgot a bunch of them them over the last 12 years. I will hang the list on my studio desk and use it. Thanks again for taking the time to make your video.
