Beyond the Basics Zoom to selection when working in XML editor

    I often prefer navigating using the XML editor. Previously I frequently used the zoom to selection button, but for the later versions this button has disappeared from the toolbar and I have learned to use the hotkey 3 to zoom to selection. Now, when highlighting an object in the XML editor and typing 3 it will search within the XML editor, no zoom to selection and I also loose my selection. If activating the draw panel to loose focus from the XML editor I also loose the selection. Any idea on how I can zoom to the selection I have in the XML editor without going to the View menu, then the zoom menu then finding the zoom to selection button? F.x. is it possible to get the zoom to selection button back into the toolbar?

    (I'm on Windows 10 and Inkscape version 1.1)

    In 1.1 , the zoom verb is missing from the verb list. So if you add the icon by editing the ui xml file, it will not fix.
