John, Are you using a control surface? I don't understand why you're clicking to create an insertion point. Scrubbing anywhere will automatically do this. Further, if insertion is following track selection, it's even faster. John writes: > The item chooser is giving me > 741 items which is too much for me to handle right now. John, You can narrow the list by typing the first few letters of what you're looking for. For example, typing r e c will bring up all of the record buttons. If you're just looking for bass, type b a s and you'll likely have only one or two results.

John, Again, you don't have to interact necessarily. However, for a fool-proof way, hide all tracks, interact with the tracks list, move to the track, bring up the contextual menu and select "show and Make active." Your insertion point will be in the track and you can edit. If you prefer, you can instead use the item chooser, narrow the search for the track and perform the same actions with the contextual menu.

You mentioned QuicKeys. That'll do a much better job of marking screen or window positions. HTH, Slau
