Is there any setting I can make to let me zoom 'centrally' on a model without
first hiding the editor? It's admittedly no big deal, but at present I have to
first ensure the mouse cursor is in the rightmost area of the window and then do
a little trial/error with panning and zoom.
And, of course, if the editor has been widened for convenience, and OpenSCAD is
not in full screen mode, or close to it, then zooming is not possible at all.

Not sure that I understand what you mean, but you can double click on any
part of the window to make that the centre of the view and then zoom in on
that point with the mouse wheel.

That doesn't work here. Whether I double click, left click, or do nothing but
hover the mouse, it makes no difference to the behaviour I described.
So I'm optimistic that you must have settings I can copy!

Double clicking on part of the visible model works fine here. Double
clicking on empty space, away from the model, does nothing. Are you
clicking on the model or beside it?

No settings I am aware of. It has always zoomed such that what was under
the mouse pointer remains under the mouse pointer.

And that allows one to effectively pan around by use of judicious zooms
and un-zooms at various points around the screen.

nop head, Jon,
Thanks both. I don't think I have been consistently clicking inside the model,
so thanks for that. But even when I do so it does not stay "under the mouse
pointer". This short (24 MB) video might show you more clearly what I mean:

Maybe I'm missing the point here, but isn't this controlled by a Preference?
Edit -> Preferences 3D view
Make sure that the "mouse centric zoom" box is checked.

I have that ticked, without it zooms around the centre of the screen
instead of the mouse pointer. So if I double click first it is the same. It
doesn't match Terry's video.

Bingo, thanks Leonard! Never been aware of that setting. However, it does the
OPPOSITE of what it states! For me anyway.
It already was enabled (checkmarked). But with it disabled (checkmark removed)
it does what nop head and jon have been describing. I toggled it again a few
times and that remains true.
