P: Toggle zoom shortcut for second monitor

On the primary display, right clicking on screen or pressing 'Z' will toogle between last two screen sizes, for example FIT and 100%.  On secondary display, you get the same action by right clicking on screen, but I cannot find any keyboard shortcut.

 

My idea (request) is to provide a toogle kb shortcut similar to the 'Z' for the primary display.  An alternative would be to have 'Carl+alt+shift+0' (100%) toggle between 100% and what 'fit/fill' is set at.

    Johnrellis....correct...and that is the problem.  If you use 'Fit' for your normal view on second monitor, none of the existing kb shortcut for zooming can be used....because there is no way to get back to 'Fit'.

     

    'Toogle' kb shortcut for 2nd monitor is really important.

    Right, there is a menu command View > Toggle Zoom View for the primary display:

     

    but there is no such toggle menu command (and thus no way to assign a keyboard shortcut) for the secondary display:

    Thanks, Sean.  I have been that route...

    it still misses the ability to toogle.  You can step up/down sizes, but cannot get back to 'Fit' (or 'Fill', if that is you preference).  Same thing with 'c+a+s+0', it gets you to 100% for inspection, but no way to get back to where you were (Fit).

    There are shortcuts in the menu if you check, but it looks like there's a bug where the shortcut is used twice (on PC anyway). Window>Secondary Display
