[Gimp-user] Suggestion: ZOOM>Fit Image to Window (leave some padding)

[KevinYork <forums gimpusers com>]

(P.S. shouldn't there be a separate forum for suggestions; as I am not looking
for Help nor Support)

"Zoom>Fit Image to Window" is great except for:
If you zoom a portrait image; how can you start a selection at the top of image
without grabbing a guide bar?

We just need a small canvas padding to fix this.

Else I'm back to: 
  {CTRL-mouse-wheel to zoom out}; 
  select ZOOM-TOOL;
 draw rectangle around image; 
  re-select the tool I just left
