Zoom tool kills other tools... hmhhhh

Hello,

quite often I want to use the zoom tool and zoom into an area which I just have marked for cutting with the knife tool.

But when using the zoom tool instead of the %-selections below the picture, the zoom tool deactivates the cutter.

This might make sense in some situations, or even in a lot of situations... but when I just want to zoom into the part, where I think I could cut, this is not helping.

It would be nice - maybe with a key pressed, when selecting the zoom tool - that it does NOT deactivate the cutter (or othe tools).

For example a selection is not destroyed by the zoom tool.

But the area that the cutter wants to cut - somehow - also is a selection. And this one IS destroyed.

That's somehow not consistent, IMHO.

What do you think?

Ciao, Oliver

Another way round it is to use the + and - keys to zoom in and out; the pixel that's under the mouse pointer should remain under the mouse pointer whenever possible as you do this.

For example a selection is not destroyed by the zoom tool.

It's a pending rectangle, and before you commit, it goes away if you select another tool.
