JOSM - Avoiding re-zoom when loading file

Is there a setting/override in JOSM which would let me stay in the current view/zoom level after loading a file?

JOSM currently re-zooms and changes the view to fit with the loaded file, which is often not desired when working on a particular location on the map.

Other users created i.e. this issue #10861 (Zoom to layer when opening new file) – JOSM, where someone wrote about simple shortcut - after load new file just press ‘8’ key to zoom to previous view. It could be helpful for you.
