Planner: selection of an area on a blank map

[Corrado Miniati]

Hello,
when waypoints have already been added to the planner to create a route, the “F” shortcut is very useful for fitting the entire route on the screen, especially when the map is highly zoomed in.
However, when starting a new route on a blank map, you have to zoom out using the mouse wheel or the + / − buttons (the + button, however, zooms in based on the center of the currently displayed map).
It would be very useful to have the option to select an area of the map with the mouse, for example by drawing a rectangle around the area of interest, and then press Enter to automatically zoom and fit that selected area to the display.

What do you think? Would this be a useful feature?

I just discovered that you can do it using SHIFT + mouse selection.
I thought this might be useful for someone else too.
