Custom zoom view setting to achieve 1 to 1 scale (actual size)

Photoshop and my view screen I need to set zoom to 84% to see actual size. Is there a way I can set this as a default zoom setting listed in the view drop down box? Then maybe set a shortcut key can be assigned to it. It just seems that there should be a setting in preferences to set a default setting for actual view size of monitor used once you find out what it is. Yes, I can change it in the bottom corner but having it default to what ones 100%(actual size) is just seem to obvious of a setting.

Are you referring to Actual Size in the View Menu? That is in part based on the preferences you set for your display. Have you found the native display resolution (currently set) and applied that in preferences?
