Zoom timeline to work area

Is there an easy way to zoom the timeline to show just the work area without using "trim comp to work area"?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this expand the work area to cover the entire length of the comp? I was under the impression that the question was about zooming the viewable area to that of the playback range..

I'm in the process of trying to figure this out using Javascript. Seems the only way possible, unless of course Adobe creates a command for the app.

Here's my thought process for how it would work (using Javascript):

create a null, trimmed to work-area range (can do now)
turn on expressions for any parameter in null (can do now)
bake expressions using "convert expression to keyframes" (can do now)
zoom to work area using "fit all graphs to view" command from graph editor (need code)
delete null (can do now)
done

Well, it's a workaround, but one that may very-well work. If anyone knows how to execute the "Fit all graphs to view" command in Javascript, let me know.
