align all composition window view positions and size?

When working with multiple comps, After Effects remembers the zoom and the offset of the composition view for each comp.

I would like to know if its possible to disable this, or at least if there is a way to center/reset the composition view to a default position and scale.

I know there is the snapshot button, to compare between comps, but I find it too slow, and inconvenient when comparing more than 2 different compositions.

If you are not sure what I mean, here is an example of the composition view remembering the offset:

Correct answer Roei Tzoref

these shortcuts are all you got:

they will all center your composition view, but won't keep the magnification ratio. if you think there should be more options for this, you can ask for it here: After Effects keyboard shortcuts reference

Hi Roei,

I didn't know about the / hotkey, using alt+/ aligned all the views perfectly!

Thanks a lot!
