I just sent in this feature request to Adobe:

Allow the user to specify predefined magnification sizes, and allow them to be assignable to keystrokes.

I run into this need every day.

Based on the size of the file and the size of my monitor, I often use a setting of 33% and 66%. 18% fits five pasteboards with letter-sized pages without cropping them.

On other occasions, I'd like to select an object and then automatically zoom in to, say, 525% and keep it in the middle of the screen.

That's doable with the zoom box at the bottom.

The Cmd- or Cmd= shortcuts step the magnification by 25%.
The View menu only shows Cmd-1 for 100%, and I know there is a Cmd-2 for 200%, but I can't find that command either in any menu nor in the Keyboard Shortcuts lists.

I'd really like to be able to specify several incremental steps for the Zoom tool.
