Yes, this will be very usefull! Add the group of axis (all of them react
to pan/zoom/zoom_to_rect of any of them, and it would be the ultimate
plot navigation tool :-) I go for shift for the last one (could even do
the 3 in one, kind of like power point snap to grid, except grid would
be 0/45/90 direction. I think powerpoint and many drawing program (adobe
illustrator, corel draw) act like that :-)
