Keeping zoom level when navigating PDF in Evince, GNOME's Document Viewer

This one is short, sweet, and to the point. How often do you have your PDF set to a nice zoom level, only to have it reset when navigating via the Bookmarks/Index? If you use GNOME as a Linux DE (desktop environment), then you can fire up a terminal and use this gsettings one-liner to preserve zoom:

gsettings set org.gnome.Evince allow-links-change-zoom false

A great alternative PDF reader is the vim-key friendly zathura. I've had issues opening larger PDFs with it though, so your mileage may vary.
