Zoom of the pixels in a region near of the color to choose.

Hi: 

Is it possible add a tool for zoom a region near to the color to pick? So, will be more accuracy the choose of a pixel in particular. Could be an optional tool in the settings of the widget. 

In the attached pic I show the feature: similar to the develop options on Firefox.

Just today I thought the same :)

The cursor isn't very accurate, unfortunately. On Wayland at least you'll be able to move the cursor around pixel-precisely with the keyboard.

@Martin: Could something like this be done? We have this "zoom" effect which shows a window around the cursor. Can this be enabled programmatically (needs a flag to disable anti-aliasing, though), or added to the Wayland color picker mode?

As on Wayland color picking is done through an effect we can do something like a magnifier. But I'm not sure whether it's a good solution.
