Option to set zoom tracking speed through Apple Magic Trackpad [;ease

Right now, Apple Magic Trackpad has no settings to control Photoshop zoom in/out speed. Other third party devices like Wacom Intuous Pen have Photoshop-dedicated control options. 
Without such controls, trying to zoom in/out in Photoshop is chaotic, extreme, and unhelpful when using the Apple Magic Trackpad as the main input device.
Please consider adding dedicated UI for Photoshop zoom in/out via Apple Magic Trackpad. Thank you.

      Photoshop supports AppleScript and tracking value may be adjustable via scripting. You’d have to test this out but if this method works, you could write a script that would run in Photoshop to do what you needed.

      Or you could run a shell script via app.system()
