Can someone please tell me how to accomplish the following two tasks:

1. After selecting an object on my canvas, zoom brings my canvas closer but it doesn't center in on the selected object and I have to manually move the canvas. How can I easily zoom in and center on a selection?

2. After working on a zoomed in object, is there a way to zoom out and center to a full view of the entire canvas with one command? 

These were functions that I used frequently in Serif DrawPlus but I haven't been able to find the corollary commands in Affinity Designer? Can someone help fill my knowledge gap? Thanks.

Double click on the objects layer

There are also keystrokes you can use, I'm guessing that you use Windows  from the DrawPlus reference so you will likely use Ctrl instead of Command.

So to zoom out to the document use Ctrl + 0
