It's on the agenda for post-10.1. It will probably be:

zoom (selected)
zoom (not protein and not solvent)

etc.

But this is trickier than you might think because of the way perspective depth is handled. Thus, to work the way you expect, this command might require

set perspectiveDepth OFF

There are all sorts of issues here.

Not sure if you want answers to the following, but to me they seem straightforward...

What if someone says the following?

  zoom (atomno=30)

Do we see one big dot?

Yes - the author will have to script an atomset, not just an atom, into the zoom to avoid that.

Is there some sort of maximum zoom just for this command?

No.

Does it recenter the model in the window at the center of that group?

Not unless I want it to... i.e., tell it to.

Should it the center of rotation as well?

Ditto.

These behaviors give the author the most control, which to me is desirable.
