Some shortcuts not functioning in the clip editor.

Not sure if this is just an error on my part, but here goes.

I open a clip editor, and go to shortcuts. I then assign short cuts to step note forward, and step note back. When i try to use these shortcuts, i get two results. 1. The note doesn't move, but just sounds (when using the step note forward shortcut). 2. When i attempt to use the step not back shortcut, the red playback cursor jumps to bar 28080, or close to it. As enthusiastic as I am at the idea of writing symphony after symphony, i'm not sure I could get to that number of bars in my lifetime.

But here's the odd bit. When i highlight a note, and use just the left and right arrows (which seems to be some sort of default pair already assigned to these shortcuts), the note will step back, but it will not step forward.

On a wider note, can i ask if we have some sort of catchall that tells the user when he's trying to assign a key to a shortcut that's already being used by something else?

And one final question. I use META+left/right to step the playback cursor back and forward. Can these assignments be used in the clip editor as well for the same shortcuts? Or do I have to assign a new set of keys? (which would not make sense to me, as moving the playback cursor back and forth is a global function) They don't seem to function correctly at the moment.

Onwards and Upward.

Alex.

p.s. I know shortcuts aren't glamorous, but they are important for productive workflow, particularly large projects.
