Hello;
Noob question here -is there a quick way / hot key / something to navigate forward and backwards along a track - like a jog / shuttle wheel in video editing? I'm most likely missing something, but doing it via the mouse and Windows scroll buttons in slow. TIA.

Yes, it is awkward, isn't it? The video editors have been yelling about including "scrubbing" for a very long time. No joy yet.
Add your ideas here...

In 1.3.9, the fullstop and comma keys will allow you to jump right or left a certain distance.
Default settings are:
. = Jump 1 second to the right
, = jump 1 second to the left
SHIFT+. = jump 5 seconds to the right
SHIFT+, = jump 5 seconds to the left
You can change the 1 second and 5 second values in "Seek Time When Playing", in the Preferences.
Edit > Preferences > Playback
It's not scrubbing, but it's better than nothing. Doesn't work in 1.2.6 though.
PO'L

Hmmmm.
I might have to try 1.3x
Would a USB Jog/Shuttle work with th program? There are only a few made.
