Since zoom to fit is already defined as the home key, using the middle mouse button as an alternate shortcut shouldn't be objectionable. I do agree with Bernhard that we should hard code any short cuts to keys or mouse events that can not be either emulated or assigned to a different key so OSX users have quick access to said features.
