New Features: Map numpad to navigation functions

Open tin2tin opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

Suggestion: Use the numeric keyboard for navigation & playback-control of the sequencer

The numeric keyboard isn't used for anything in the sequencer, and at the same time, the playback controls are difficult to find and remember(ex. alt+a for play/pause). The 'k' button is used for cutting so, the standard NLE controls: J, K, L can't be used unless cut is moved to a different key. So why not move the playback controls to the numeric keyboard? That would have some consistency with using the numeric keyboard for navigating the 3D View.

As an alternative the move selection(not currently implemented) function could be mapped to ex. shift +arrow keys and the ALT + numpad keys could be mapped to the zoom functions(ex. zoom x/y has been implemented).

VSEQF has implemented these functions.

The optimal implementation would include speeds slower speeds like 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 a sec.
