OK, I'm trying really hard to like Vegas. It seems like a great tool, but it seems to have very basic workflow issues. In Premiere, doing basic, frame-accurate edits (which presumable you spend the bulk of your time doing) are a joy -- you have keys for stepping forward and backward a frame at a time, jumping to the beginning or end of the clip/timeline/etc. -- the video is like clay in your hands.
Vegas 3 was *painful* to use. I heard Vegas 4 had a better interface, so I downloaded it and Viola! it has keyboard shortcuts for skipping around a timeline -- but they are for the numerical keypad, which is inconvenient (to say the least) on my laptop. Ahhh!!
So my question: is there a way to re-map the keyboard? I can't find anything in the help files, but I find it hard to believe any app could have such a glaring omission. Something undocumented? Some file I can edit by hand maybe?
Sorry for the tone of frustration, but I'm a software developer myself, and *all* software development tools have fully customizable keyboard interfaces, so it always bugs me when application developers fail to extend the same courtesy to their customers.
