The behavior with Left and Right to move one event at a time is to stop at the end of the active segment. The cursor in the main window does not move. As you point out, using the Ctrl+Left/Right version of this does move the cursor in the main window. I hadn't ever noticed that, and it's inconsistent. One or the other, surely, but never both behaviors. This is an oversight. I don't have a strong opinion on what to do when reaching the end of the active segment. Stopping is fine with me. If I want to continue, I change the active segment and do so. I am used to this, and can live with it. Could Rosegarden save me a little effort and select the next segment automatically? It certainly seems possible, and I don't have any objection to giving that a try. It might work out splendidly. Trying to navigate with just the keyboard, I notice that it seems to be impossible to change the active segment without reaching for the mouse. I have never been a keyboard navigation guy, and this does not bother me, but I can see where it would bother a keyboard navigation guy. If we can figure out some new keys to use for this, it seems like a good idea to add some new shortcuts to call these slots via a different route. -- D.
