Overview
The timeline could already edit words from the keyboard but had no way to move the playhead, so anything about where you are meant reaching for the mouse. Arrows now move it, PageUp/PageDown go a screen at a time, Home/End jump to the ends, and word nudging shifts to Alt+arrows the way Logic and Premiere do it. Using it turned up two more gaps:
Aonly selected a word when the playhead was already inside one, so it now reaches for the nearest and travels there, and stepping was silent even though dragging the playhead already auditions audio. The shared slider also stops swallowing modified arrow presses, which had it seeking and nudging a selected word in the same keystroke.
