Not big deal, but in the field would be better moving the cursor
to the approximate place and then zoom and get automatic re-centering.
In the field, it's better to avoid the mouse (actually, there is often
no mouse
but the hateful pad, cannot believe that hardware engineers have not come
with something better than such an uncomfortable and anti-ergonomic system!)
or just use it for rough positioning. A way to move the cursor (not to
pan) with
the keyboard (i.e. Ctrl+->) would be handy also, perhaps displaying a
cross-hair.
Maybe we could define different sets of keyboard shortcuts and make sort
of "for in the field"
mode and "for in the office" mode.

One last thought: at least as an option, should not zooming re-center
the image so that the
current position defined by the pointer become the new center?
I think that's how it works. You can somewhere and the new center is also
the zooming center, or do I missunderstand?

If I put my cursor on a clear land mark close to the bottom-left corner
and hit the up key,
the landmark does not become the new center. Related to this, I recall
having seen a way to center to
cursor position (and then I could zoom as currently done) , but cannot
find it.
with the keyboard you usually pan to your area of interest, so it appears in the
center of the map window and then zoom in or out. I don't know, but I think the
feature that you remember does only exist with the mouse, like activating the
zoom in icon and then clicking on an area somewhere in the map window.
