Request: keyboard shortcut for "View all"/zoom extents

I know a total remake of the menus have been discussed before but could we
please have a keyboard shortcut implemented for "View all" before that?

It might seem like a minor detail but I find that panning, zooming,
rotating, changing views are very intutitive but having no way of quickly
zooming the extents / "View all" except clicking the button interrupts the
work flow.

I'd suggest Ctrl-\ (aka |) for center, Ctrl-/ (aka ?) for reset view & Ctrl-'
(single quote aka ") for View-All.

Three keys in a diagonal line-ish.

I'd save keys <, and >. pair for something which goes up/down "< >".

That leaves ;: and `~ keys, perhaps Ctrl-; (aka :) toggles
perspective/orthogonal?

And save ~ for future feature....
