Humtiedum.... ah, grid, that would be great to have, no? 

Currently, only audioclip edges are snap points, the snap lut is created in 
SnapList class. I suppose some sort of grid thing, including the painting 
might be of great value!

Not sure what you mean here, zooming into 1/1, 1/2 of what ?

My newest idea to zooming is that the startpoint of the zoom action keeps 
there, like you 'magnify' the point the cursor was at a certain moment, 
currently we zoom centered on the work cursor, but I don't like that....

A new zoom action (something like [ Z X ], but you're free to bind it to your 
key of choice) for track vertical zooming could be handy too, so the pointed 
track will be verticall zoomed (maybe horizontal will work as well with this 
action).

Hmm, a little offtopic this idea, anyone any suggestions? Please in a new 
thread.

Good night,

Remon
