## Feature
I'm used to the behaviour of the Windows file explorer. When I hold the CTRL key and keep scrolling up and down, the icons get bigger and smaller accordingly. When a certain size is exceeded and you scroll further, Windows file explorer goes to the next view mode automatically, e.g. the details view.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Elementary file browser should behave similar. Starting from "View as Grid" (Ctrl + 1), when scrolling down while holding Ctrl, it should switch to the "View as List" mode (Ctrl + 2), with the largest icon size available withing that mode. When then further scrolling down while holding the Ctrl key, the icons should become smaller and smaller like the already do at the moment. Then, when the smallest size is reached and Ctrl + scroll down is done one more step, it should go to the "View in Columns" mode (Ctrl + 3) with large icons.
When the scrolling down further while holding the Ctrl key, the icons should become smaller. After then the smallest level is reached, Ctrl + scroll down should not trigger any more actions.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Couldn't think of another one that is easily usable.
