Storyboard issue - changing standard behaviour.

Wondering if this is possible.

I'm considering abandoning the storyboard due to its cumbersome nature in large projects and especially when laying out iPad apps.

What I am used to (and prefer) in apps and IDEs that show visual representations of items, such as the previous Interface Builder that shipped with Xcode 3.x, and in Director, Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop, every app I am used to working in, is that when I position the view and the zoom of the items on the screen that it NEVER changes unless I tell it to.

The idea is that the app doesn't change a thing that the user took the time and effort to set up.

Xcode 4.x's preference of zooming in to an item in the Storyboard and centering it within the view when it is selected creates a very unpleasant developer experience, because I just took the time to position and scale the view the way I wanted it and Xcode decided to override my decision without my permission.

That's not nice and sets the developer at odds with his IDE.

My goal is to be able to set Xcode's Storyboard Editor to behave like this: If I want to zoom in to an item, allow me to do so with command +, and allow a zoom out with command - (really command = and command -).  Don't auto zoom into a selected item because that's what you thought I wanted to do.

Is there any exposed parameter that I can set with a defaults write to turn this functionality off?

TIA,
- Alex Zavatone
