Please streamline scroll wheel modifiers

The new options to zoom and pan the timeline with the scroll wheel and modifiers are very welcome. But the modifier-action mapping is a not consistent with similar mappings in various other places in DR. While some of them are very old an better left untouched, I would very much appreciate if the modifiers could be streamlined (suggestion see below). Otherwise it is a hit and miss to use the right modifier depending where you are in DR.

Here is a (probably not comprehensive) overview what the scroll wheel actually does with each modifier (I only checked on macOS):

without modifier:
vertical scroll (Edit & Fairlight Timeline, Color page Node panel and all panels when they have a scroll bar)
zoom (Color page viewer)
horizontal scroll (Color page Clips)
nothing (Color page and Cut page Timeline)

shift:
vertical zoom (Edit & Fairlight Timeline)
horizontal scroll (Fairlight Mixer, Color page Nodes)

opt:
horizontal zoom (Edit & Fairlight & Color Page Timeline:)
zoom (Color page Nodes)

cmd:
horizontal scroll (Edit & Fairlight & Color Timeline)
vertical scroll (Color page viewer, Color page timeline)
scrub (Cut page)

cmd-opt:
waveform zoom (Fairlight)
fast horizontal scrol (Edit timeline)

shift-ctr:
fast vertical scroll (Edit timeline)

shift-cmd
horizontal scroll (Color page viewer)

I would suggest:
without: vertical acroll
shift for horizontal scroll (I think this is the macOS standard for windows with horizontal scroll bar)
opt for zoom (everything or vertical zoom only if applicable)
opt-shift for horizontal zoom (combining the previous suggestions)

To avoid upsetting every colorist on planet earth we can leave scroll without modifier for the Color page viewer's zoom

Best practice is to search first, to see if someone already asked. If not, post one idea per thread with a very brief description of the idea in the thread's title.
