Hi, yes, I think we are talking about the same things for general :-)

My idea to solve this is to have this actions completely kontextive as I tried ;-) to describe it in the "Re: [Kdenlive-devel] Inpoints/outpoints, problem I need to tackle." thread. So, the clip will be resized on the timeline, when one clip edge is selected, via the arrows. But if the timeline monitor would be activated -- hopefully possible by a shortcut ;-) -- , the arrows will move the timeline cursor by frames .... greetings Reinhard kdenlive-devel at lists.sourceforge.net schrieb am 22.07.03 00:19:04: > > On Saturday 19 Jul 2003 3:53 pm, Reinhard Amersberger wrote: > > Hi, > > > > right now I noticed a really cool behaviour, but I don't know if this is > > intended ... > > > > This is the normal functionality ... > > > > > - Pressing Left and Right arrows moves the active monitor > > > forwards/backwards one frame.
