Maybe this is already possible. If so, please let me know and I’ll delete this, but…
I =rarely= use the ‘Follow’ mode (screen scrolls as project plays). About the only time I use it is when I want to Go To a particular spot. So it’s a 4 step do-si-do.
Turn on Follow
Enter time I want to Go To into transport
Hit (display scrolls to new position)
Turn off Follow
…I wish there was a ‘Goto With Follow’ command. ie.
Enter time I want to Go To into transport
Hit (display scrolls to new position)
…but WITHOUT having to hit the Follow button to get the screen display to move.
This seems like a little thing, but I -constantly- do this and if I forget to reset the Follow state, bad things happen.
I have a similar aggravation. I normally have auto-scroll disabled. So when I hit Home to go position the cursor at locator start, the screen stays where it is and I need to toggle Autoscroll twice to get positioned at the locator start. I do have Autoscroll as an easy to type key shortcut, so it’s not that big a deal. But it seems like when explicitly doing navigation, as opposed to playback, we actually would want to see where we’re navigating to. This is not a “sometimes” thing. This is always the way I would like it to respond.
Indeed. I have a similar Annual Request for just this behaviour… actually several tiny variations on the same theme. I want to keep ‘auto-scroll’ OFF 100% of the time, but I need the screen to scroll to where I have the cursor.
