How to zoom to specific lat/long point in QGIS

Sorry to dig up this old question, but it's still in the first results with a Google search...

I found out a pretty nice plugin which perfectly suited my needs about dealing back and forth between a local SCR and Lat/Long data with various web tools, so I thought I may share..

It's called Lat Lon Tools and it's an open source project developped by the NSA.

This tool is able to zoom easily to Lat/Long coordinates copy pasted from your clipboard or open directly a point from QGIS to a map in your web browser.

You can just type into the "display" part of the status bar where you see the coordinates and zoom level.

I don't know a way to do the "enter long/lat in degrees but display in UTM" though.
