Mouse wheel scrolls too much

Is there a way to reduce the sensitivity of Onshape to my mouse wheel? I find turning the wheel by a single "notch" zooms in / out way too far on my workspace.
The problem is compounded by the fact I have a very high resolution monitor, so most of the time my cursor happens to be centered at an inconvenient location when I scroll (e.g. off in empty space toward the workspace edges), and zooming in centers on that spot making my whole model "disappear".
Initially I thought it might be due to my mouse settings (e.g. # lines to scroll setting, enabling page scrolling feature, etc.), but I don't have this problem in any other website or program (including Solidworks).
It would also be nice if you could hold Shift+MiddleWheel down and drag the mouse up and down as an alternative means to zoom in and out (for those who don't have mouse wheels or reduce use of them due to their poor ergonomics).

ps. By "middle wheel down" I meant "middle mouse button down". E.g. On my Dell Precision laptop I don't have a scroll wheel, but do have a middle mouse button.

While the default Onshape settings does not support Middle mouse button drag to zoom, we do support other view manipulation settings that do. Check out the View Manipulation sections in https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/account.htm .0
