Zoom to selected item?
When I need to make a positional fix and it has to be done by dragging, or I need to find that one available pixel to click on when I have overlaps with unmoveable items, I would love to be able to select a nearby object, and then when I zoom in, the zoom function considers the selected object to be "center", so it's always in the frame. This would save the frustration of zooming in, wondering where I am in the piece, and dragging the score around trying to find out where I was.

So maybe I'm a moron.... there's a plug-in somewhere in this thread that I should download, right? I can't find it...

No, it is a code change for the next version of MuseScore, which is not yet released
Ctrl + mousewheel zooms into where the mouse cursor points, so point to something in the score and zoom (without moving the cursor).

Doesn't work for me for some reason. On my Mac, if I use Command and use the scroll wheel MS crashes. Other combinations do nothing.

Crash?... That's odd.
Does the mousewheel by itself move the score vertically, and Shift + mousewheel move the score horizontally?

Yes, that aspect behaves properly. It's only when I try to use it with the Command (Apple) key that it crashes.

Do you have the hover text accessibility option turned on in macOS? That is known to cause problems in MsueScore and other applications.
FWIW, manual adjustments pretty much never need to be done by dragging., it's almost always easier and more precise to do via the cursor keys (after double-clicking the element in most cases), or via the Inspector. Also, to select an element that is overlapped by another, just Ctrl+click repeatedly, which cycles through the overlapping elements at any position. Finally, if you do select a nearby element, no need to zoom in to get to the element you want in most cases, just use Alt+Left/Right to navigate element-by-element.
If you attach a score where you are having trouble, we can advise better as to the most effective way to perform the adjustment.
