CuePoint Types
CuePoints (cues) can also be added via keyboard shortcuts, by default the first 10 visible CuePoints are assigned to number keys 1 to 0. The assigned number key is also indicated next to the CuePoint name along the top of the window. You can disable auto populate numeric shortcuts and customise each CuePoint to be any key.
Skip Forward / Back
Skips the playhead forward by a customised amount or when holding the Option key it will also move selected CuePoints. Arrow key skip timings can be customised in a specific number of frames or seconds in Settings depending on a combination of the Shift or Command key.
Move Playhead Position when Moving CuePoints
When dragging CuePoints on the timeline, the playhead will move with the CuePoints. This can be useful if you want to scrub media at the same time as aligning a CuePoint. This behaviour can be customised within Settings. Depending on setting, the Control key can be held to enable / disable the movement of the playhead when dragging CuePoints.
