Little but important thing. When I zoom into the timeline, make the center of the zoom be where the time cursor is.

Sometimes it works right, but often it jumps around randomly.

Built at Telethon — when you zoom in on the timeline, it will anchor to the playhead position rather than the center of the viewport, so you stay oriented in your edit without hunting for the cursor. Demo: https://share.descript.com/view/byjIJOYlXbQ

Built by Barbara (engineer). Note: pending QA and subject to change before release.

This is not little. I fight for my life everytime I zoom. Cackle...LOL

I just want to say this is not little! This is a constant pain point - zooming in, and then having to spend time adjusting to make the cursor (and scrollbar) be in the center.
