Quality of life thought: Moving while in strategic zoom?

Strategic zoom is great, but I have always found myself wanting to move while I am fully zoomed out.

What I mean by "move" is I want the ability to queue moves with shift, like I usually do when zoomed in.

If I have a "pan" for instance (the little circle PHC flyer scouty thing... pretty sure that name is right...)

... I want to be able to scootch it around the map at the start of the game.

It would be convenient to zoom out all the way, and then create the queued movement points. 

As it stands, if I want to give movement directives, and see the green lines on the screen, than I can only zoom out some of the way, but not the entire way.

Was this done on purpose?

Shouldn't it be possible to queue commands from the highest zoom level?
