Add shortcut to open space platform hub from map view

TL;DR
There should be a shortcut (button or hotkey) to open space platform hub from the map view, or to go to the hub location
What?
I can see some options where such button can be located:
- Clicking on the currently-selected platform in the Surfaces view (on the left) either opening hub GUI, or going to the hub loccation
- Clicking on the current route (on the right) could also open a hub GUI
- Alternatively, hub may be interactable from the map view like the trains do. However, this still requires zooming (see below)

Why?
When building LARGE space platforms (barges, arkships, shattered planet conquerors etc.) on the later stages of the game, it's quite hard to go the hub. It would be nice to have a shorter version for the process, instead of:
- Zoom out
- Zoom out more
- Move up
- Zoom in
- Zoom in until you can click on hub
- Do what you need
- Repeat backwards to go to the initial location

I don't disagree with the post, but there is a button that does the moving to hub location already:
(Technically it goes to the spawn point which for the platform surface is the hub location)

Thanks.
Can you add hotkey for that?

Make cargo landing pads visible in map view might be related (in the sense of trying to locate/open a unique-on-surface entity).

Okay, that solves the issue only partially as it focuses on the (0, 0) point without resetting the zoom level, thus you still need to scroll up if you have Map View open.
