Zooming on laptops with a touchpad

I had posted this on the support forum, but maybe it's better here as - while it's indeed a "tech problem" for some players - it's not strictly a "bug".

I'm one of those gamers who like to play their strategy game on a notebook/laptop while comfortly reclined on a couch.

That is, I don't use a mouse, but a touchpad.

Now, as a touchpad does not have a mousewheel, this function is emulated by sliding down or up the pad with two fingers. In this game, it is working in principle, but the sensitivity is so fickle that I always zoom in our out maximally. I can get to the middling zoom level by "accident" only.

This unfortunately makes this game rather uncomfortable to play, but there seem to me two very easy solutions:

1) Add a zooming sensitivity option to the options menue
2) Add two small zooming-in and out buttons to the UI (like we used to have in games before the mousewheel).
3) If the above is not possible, please add at least keyboard commands for zooming in and out.

I really would like those zooming buttons. But adding keyboard hotkeys for zooming in and out has to be very easy to implement, so please please please at least add those ...

Thanks for hearing me out.

I agree! Keyboard control would be the best
