I'm not sure if this is something that should be done via a script, or if it should be done in some other way, but here goes:

The person here at my company who uses InDesign CS the most has a 19" monitor and finds that the normal InDesign zoom level shortcut presets (50%, 200%, and 400%) don't quite do what she needs. Through trial-and-error, she has determined that, for her particular workspace, 125% is the optimal zoom level for her to work in. As such, if she zooms out to the whole pasteboard or in tight on a particular object, she would like a way to quickly jump back to her favored 125% zoom level.

The problem is, we can't identify a way to make a keyboard shortcut that automatically jumps her to that zoom level.

I was browsing through Adobe's developer downloads page for InDesign, and realized that InDesign can be scripted. That's when I started thinking that perhaps a script with a keyboard shortcut assigned to it would be the best solution for what my co-worker needs.

Unfortunately, I am very new to the concept of scripting Adobe applications, so a quick skim through the InDesign Scripting Guide document that Adobe provides looked like a foreign language to me.

I tried the Adobe Studio Exchange, in hopes of finding an already-existing script that does what my co-worker needs. Unfortunately, no such script exists, as far as I can tell.

So, I was wondering if anyone here either knows of or has a script that does (or can be adapted to do) what I described above.

Thanks in advance for any help on this,
