-You’re done, enjoy it! 😄
Thank you. Works well. I’m much happier with the interface I used for over 30 years in Photoshop, it’s helpful to have that emulated somewhat in GIMP.
I also tracked down how to set the scroll wheel to zoom without the need for the Ctrl key, which was another annoyance. I’ve tried before to discover this, but failed. Maybe I was looking at the official documentation, which could use some work. Anyway, here’s how to get the scroll wheel to zoom without the Ctrl key:

To save anyone from having to watch a video:
Edit > Preferences > Input Devices > Input Controllers > Main Mouse Wheel
In this menu, double-click “Scroll Up”, and select
view-zoom-in-accel. Then do the same to “Scroll Down” with the valueview-zoom-out-accel.Just did that, thanks👌.
btw the comand x me was just :
view-zoom-in
view-zoom-out
