: Presets for a specific zoom in illustrator Just hoping someone has figured out a shortcut (preferably keyboard shortcut) in illustrator to snap the zoom to 133% (a visual 1:1 scale for online's

You can use this script snippet. Change the zoom value for any way you like!
These days Illustrator remembers scripts as menu items in actions, if you 'install' the script in your Illustrator application's scripts folder and restart, you can now record an action and insert this script, then call it via shortcut key. Likewise you can create different scripts and their action caller buttons for multiple zoom levels.

function test(){
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
app.activeDocument.views[0].zoom = 133 * (1/100);
}
};
test();

Quick thought: save a template file with your predefined views (and your personal branding of course) and start from that for each new file - should give you what you need.

Zoom to the level you need, and click View > New View, give it a name like "133% view"
An entry will be added to the bottom of the View menu, which you can click on whenever you need that zoom level.
To create a shorcut for it, click Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts
Click on the drop down and change from "Tools" to "Menu Commands"
Click on the View menu item to expand it, and scroll down until you see "Custom View 1", add a shortcut key for it, and save your custom Keyset file with a new name.
