I am really starting to get that "loving feeling" with this product. Flexible would be the word that comes to mind as there seems to be a way to do most anything if you try to figure out. Having said that I do have a few little things that are bugging me at this point and I'm sure there is a perfectly rational solution to each of these. So, in no particular order....
1) On the timeline, with Video track 1 on the left showing it is selected and I having verified the focus is set for the timeline, why is is that I can't just hit "s" and split the track where the cursor is if I want to? Why do I have to click on an event specifically before I can split the track? Clicking on the event seems imprecise to me compared to pausing playback at the precise point I want to split the track plus I like to minimize usage of the mouse as much as possible so I'm thinking if the focus is correct, and the track selection is correct why not let me split where the cursor is if I want to?
2) With the focus on the timeline is there a simple keyboard shortcut to simply highlight Video track 1 or track 2 if i desire? I've noticed that if I click on a specific track number on the far left then the up/down arrows will toggle through the different tracks but I haven't found a keyboard command for that.
3.) The next concept deals with quickly moving down a long timeline (in my case several hours long) using keyboard commands. I thought I read in the manual where you can you use pgup/pgdwn to quickly hop through grid markers but the largest setting on grid markers is 1 minute so that doesn't help too much. Of course, I can simple hold down the pg/dwn button and eventually I will get there but what I'm looking for ideally is a way scroll one complete screen (at whatever zoom I'm currently set at) per click of a keyboard button.
Oops, I have more but I've got a semi-emergency to attend to so I'll have to finish this later. Thanks for paying attention.
