Resize / Scale Timeline around Time cursor instead of frame 0 ?

I recently started working with Adobe Animate and while I love quite some features I am struggling a lot with the unintuitive User Interface. One thing I find particularly annoying is that whenever I want to zoom into the timeline, it scales around its origin instead of scaling around the current position of the time cursor. This means on a longer sequence I always lose the position of where I currently am and have to scroll back there before being able to continue to work.

This certainly must have been addressed a long time ago in a software which has been around for such a long time, right? I am only missing the proper way to do it, right? Right????

Any help is highly appreciated, thanks!

is this a camera issue with zooming? or something you're doing in the interface?

It's an interface thing, sorry I didn't make that clear enough. Hope the attached image helps to clarify..

i don't think that can be done. you can scale up the entire timelne, but zooming a particular portion of the timeline is understandable, but not doable.

on the stage, you can do that with the magnfier by dragging a rectangle around the region you want to magnify.
