[Suggestion] Center view on target

I am used to hitting [backspace] to zoom into a target. However, sometimes i just went to center my view on a target, without zooming in, or having to zoom out afterwards.

I just want to CENTER my current view on a target (like a fleet or planet or station that I selected).

Couldnt find it in settings, controls

Yeah, a center without zoom option wouldn't be a bad thing.

Lacking that, I've come up with binding the center and zoom, region zoom, and system zoom keys to c, x, and z. That way the zoom buttons are very close to where my left hand is and I don't have to wear out my scroll wheel because I just can't be bothered moving my arm to the other side of the keyboard.

Thats not a bad idea. A centre option would still be nice (so i dont kill my fps by zooming into everything), but this would work in the meanwhile.

You can center the map on a selected unit or orb by left clicking the header (top portion) of the selection panel.
