zooming with mouse scrollwheel

I'd like to zoom with my mouse scrollwheel like in other apps.

the mouse scroll wheel is now used for scroll up and down, but yeah, we need a way of zooming in adition to the actual way, specially in the arrangement.

I personaly make lots of "microedits" in the arrangement and its a pain having to go to the upper side of the screen everytime you need to zoom.

also the "+" and "-" keys for zooming seem a bad choice to me cause these keys are really far from the left hand (left hand tends to be near the ctrl key) and it implies that you need to release the mouse to zoom with the keys, or move the left hand far from the cntrl key, forcing you to quit your eyes of the screen just to find those zoom keys. Very unpractical

ctrl+mouse wheel for zooming in and out could be a good choice

or allow us to zoom in and out by clicking in any place of the interface by pressing a modifier button, for example alt+click for zooming

or just let us define our keyboard shortcuts

The best would be to have the choice between a user-definable key + wheel or to switch between up/down and zoom in/out.
