Timeline breaks to mark long empty intervals

I have a timeline where nothing happens for actually decades and I must move the context bar a long distance to find the next event. So how about being able to compress a portion of the timeline? I am visualizing a vertical zigzag (lightning bolt) or a pair of them to indicate an empty time range . Of course this would have controls like toggle on/off, automatic if greater than a certain amount of time. Etc. Bye the way, good work.

This idea would be very helpful for me, since my timelines tend to range in the billions. I start off with base universal template that contains known and constant assumptions of the universe and known approximations of Earth's history, then expand on it for fictional literary works.
