After Effects. Recenter Comp view?

I did my searching and found nothing so far.

The Issue:

In a comp view pane, if you use the hand tool or shortcut to move the comp view around, is there a way to recenter the view to default?  This would be useful, if I have three or more comps that I want to click the tabs to compare for differences.  As it is now, each comp has an view offset setting remembered.  I would like to recenter the comp view for one or all comps.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

None of those work for me.

Is it because I'm on a French keyboard?

Thanks.

To Center your composition in panel:

Click anywhere in the Preview panel (so it is the active panel).

Double-click the hand tool.

Fit up to 100% in the Magnification Factor options at the bottom left corner of the composition panel.
