Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I want to zoom in or out I am frequently blocked and need to press ctrl. Even holding ctrl there are arbitrary limits in place.
you can zoom between 1:1 and “fit to screen” by scrolling with your mouse. Scroll while holding the Ctrl key to extend the zoom range to between 2:1 and 1:10.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like an option so that mouse wheel scrolls just keeps zooming in or out as long as I keep scrolling. No arbitrary limits.
Alternatives
The user could be allowed to configure the min and max zooms for with and without ctrl pressed. This would give more flexibility.

Research direction
Start by locating darktable’s mouse-wheel zoom handling and the existing Ctrl-key behavior described in the linked darkroom overview documentation. The change is done when an option allows scrolling to continue beyond the current minimum and maximum zoom limits, including with and without Ctrl, and both directions behave consistently.
