simple equivalent to ctr-J (move cursor to...) for the Sequence Editor.

A very simple, but nonetheless pretty useful thing would be a hotkey to quickly jump to a specific bar-number in the sequence editor.

Best, tL.

I like the idea. Maybe Ctrl+J should jump to a specific bar-number if the mouse pointer is currently placed in the sequencer? (instead of having two key bindings). Also, do you have a mouse with a scroll wheel? If not, I understand very well why you need more convenient ways to place the sequencer cursor.

key command + number entry is waaaay faster than scroll-wheel. And way more accurate obviously. :)

Yes, would be good if only "one-for-two".

How about just expanding Ctrl+J with more commands? That is probably the least confusing option, although it requires writing at least one character more.

"To move sequencer cursor to bar 2, write s2" "To move sequencer cursor to bar 2, beat 3, write s2/3" "To move sequencer cursor to 0:55, write :55" "To move sequencdr cursor to 1:02:33, write, 1:2:33"

I imagine tags would be useful too? Right click in the sequencer timeline, and select "add tag".

"To move sequencer cursor to tag 2, write t2"

BTW. Is "tag" the most common word used for this? (Ardour seems to use "mark".)

Sounds good. Also "Locate" or "Move/Jump to location" probably the best term. (Logic/Pro Tools/Cubase etc...)

Mark in my eyes is too confusing with "Markers" which are a completely different animal in the DAW world.

Hmm, seems like it's "marker" I'm thinking of. It should be quick to implement.
