"In MoI it's a focus for points on objects to be placed with precision using object snaps."

I totally understand and appreciate that, but I'm not doing, or intending to do, anything whatsoever to the object by manipulating the camera.

Anyway I'll rest my case here. I appreciate your engagement and willingness to respond, and I do understand the desire to stay consistent with your chosen modus operandi. MOI is clearly a very fluid and well thought out application. I just feel the viewport navigation isn't quite on that same high level.
