Hi John, even with version 5 and outSPOKEN, you have to move the insertion point in order to edit. You might find the Item Chooser helpful. Control-Option-i brings up a list of items that you can narrow by typing the first few letters of what you're looking for. If you get into large sessions, it can take a few seconds to compile a list of hundreds of items but, usually it's quick enough. If you're just editing, you can choose to hide unnecessary items under the Display menu and that should speed things up a bit. I've never had trouble with Pro Tools being busy.
