After a recent re-install of L/W, I have lost the keyboard shortcuts for the two handy on-screen console commands: |< and >| What are these called?

Also, is there a keyboard command available for 'play backwards at normal speed'? (ie: reverse at half and double speeds are there but I cannot find normal speed reverse...

"Left" and "Right" are the shortcuts for |< and >| while "Reverse" will play backwards at normal speed.

Thanks, found 'reverse' but cannot find Left or Right on my keyboard. Expected them to be < and > but these keys only activate 'one frame back' and 'one frame forward' respectively.

The customizable keyboard shortcuts in LW are fantastic.
It really helps to speed up editing.

However, when it comes to the "left" and "right" commands, I actually prefer to use the scroll-wheel on the mouse.
(scroll-up = left; scroll-down = right).

That wheel very quickly cycles thorough the all the queues and cuts on the edit.
It just seems quicker (and intuitive) to scroll through multiple cuts by scrolling a wheel than by pressing a button multiple times.

But, to each his own...

Click on the thumb print on the Tools bar to open Editor preferences. Here you'll be able to change/view the key assignments or import another preferences setting.

Yes, I've based my setting on Avid preferences with some of my own custom commands. I prefer to use the Shuttle Pro to edit rather than a mouse but the troube is, now the left/right arrow keys no longer mimick the |< and >| screen console actions. Does anybody know what these two screen console buttons are called in the keyboard preference settings?
