1$\begingroup$ Actually, [Crtl]+[Numpad +] is quite fast (and intuitive) to do... what would be your preferred command? As Mr Zak commented above, you can customize commands, the only problem being is: there are already so many command shortcuts... it's crowded. Also could pie menus be another way? $\endgroup$ – m.ardito Apr 20 '16 at 13:42

$\begingroup$ Okay, sorry. I didn't realize that in the title you asked how without a numpad. I was just thinking of the end of your question where you were wondering a fast way. I'm glad you got it. :) $\endgroup$ – Uncle Snail Apr 21 '16 at 19:47
