Loops2DPanZoom by Loops Creative Studio is an equivalent of the 2D Pan/Zoom feature available in Maya. It makes it easier to zoom into the viewport and select and manipulate controllers directly within the view. This could be particularly useful for wide shots, as it improves selection and animation within a more focused context.

The tool controls the viewport's actual camera, adjusting rotation and FOV in perspective mode, and translation and orthographic zoom in orthographic mode. This keeps selections, the transform gizmo, and Control Rig controls aligned with what you see on screen. Right now, Loops2DPanZoom is in beta and has some limitations, you can learn more about it in the documentation.
