Zoom in to a particular area of a sketch

I have a question about how one can zoom in to a particular part of a sketch. When I zoom in by pressing Shift+Z as I do not have a pointing device, part of the sketch is not visible and I am not able to change the view or reorient the sketch. How can one zoom in to a specific part of a sketch or assembly? I have tried using zoom to selection to zoom to a specific area but it does not zoom in to the correct extent.

Whar kind of computer are you using ?
A desktop unit or are you possibly using a notebook computer ?
Are you using a mouse or a track ball or a trackpad ?
I’m using the trackpad on a MacBook Pro to zoom.
Two fingers swiped away or towards me on the trackpad to zoom out and in
I’m not pressing down when I’m swiping. I’m just lightly brushing my fingers across the trackpad
There is no panning being done in this GIF. The only thing that is being done is zoom in and out
If I want to center something when zooming in, and that item is off to the left, then prior to the zoom, I place the cursor a little bit further out to the left - then I do the swipe
I edited the above post
Changed the GIF and some of the text
