Hi,

I apologize in advance if this is already in the standalone (and I've just not figured it out yet) but if not:

The same functionality as the Maya F key (i.e. select the mesh node and press F and it zooms in to the mesh) would be awesome.

There's a function similar to this already in standalone. The attached screenshot explains it. It's not perfect, and it won't "focus" in the same way Maya does, but it's a quick and easy way to point the camera at the object in question. From there, it's a matter of zooming in. Keep in mind that it will point the camera to the surface point you clicked, not the object itself. So if you click on the plane next to the matball, it will pivot around that point of the plane, etc.

I hope this helped some.
