There are 2 things related to this that have been on my TODO list for a while but I haven't got around to them yet. The first is something like you describe above, ie, don't Skip if the place we would skip to is within about 5 seconds of the end of the program. Instead just popup a message saying we didn't skip and why. The second is the ability to remember where we skipped from, so you could hit 'Q' immediately after hitting 'Z' and 'Q' would take you back to the point you skipped from. This would be effective for maybe 2-3 seconds and the remembered position would be reset once you hit 'Q' the first time, so you could hit 'Q' another time and skip further back in the recording. The same would hold true for the reverse, hitting 'Z' immediately after an initial 'Q' would take you back to where you started at. If anyone wants to tackle these two, feel free. They are annoying but haven't bugged me enough yet to push them to the top of my TODO list, there's still a few items above them. They are fairly easy to implement though. -- Chris
