Suggestion: Double clicking a connected terminal on the connector pane highlights and jumps to the connected control. This would be useful for controls that are off screen or hidden.
Similar behavior to double clicking the associated terminal/icon on the block diagram, where it automatically repositions the front panel's view.

BTW, I hate the "similar" feature that you are referring to as it has no "undo" associated with it, which means that you can completely ruin the centering of your panel if you are not cautious (not even mentioning hidden controls). Implementing your suggestion as is would result in the same problem. I would not recomment that...
I too used to get annoyed with the pane origin moving, but I now controll it programatically at the start of execution. I base all of my UIs at X0, Y0.
For every front panel that I display to the user, I use the following sub VI near the start.
Pane origin to zero.vi
Although it would make sense if there was a way to do this from the menu in edit mode.
