Re: [Traverso-devel] Play Cursor Control

Hi Ben,

Hah, I thought it was my idea :D

Never mind, I still love how it works, but we cannot 'set' the playcursor with 
a < K > type of action, like we can with the work cursor, which is the 'real' 
problem I think, not the fact that [ spacebar ] does what it does...

So we indeed need a Set Playhead function (thanks for implementing that!), and 
I would suggest to not change the spacebar behavior as it is now, but use 
another key action to be able to 'set' the playhead...

In respect to mouse button left, I really like to keep that one 'free' for 
selection!
So in order to be able to select multiple clips, you cannot or, very hardly 
use the mouse left button to drag clips, set the playhead, or something 
else... (although it is possible of course)

Wat about using < W > for setting the playhead position, and << W >> to move 
it (back) to the work cursor ?

Of course, if you really like another way of working, then you should create 
your own version of the keymap!!
(Just in case people forgot, it's all about choice, and that is given to you, 
though you need to edit the keymap of course to make use of that freedom 
hehe)
But obviously, we're looking for the most sensible set of keyfact - command 
mappings!

For now, setting the playhead with mouse button left is probably preferable 
over accidentally setting the workcursor, though to be honest, I won't use 
the mouse button left for either of those :)

Regards,

Remon
