Question

Go to Previous/Next Edit Point Keyboard Shortcuts are Not Working As They Use To!

I have upgraded to Adobe Premiere Elements 2026 recently. The shortcuts for Go to Previous/Next Edit Point are not working as they use to.

In older version when I press shortcut for Go to Previous/Next Edit Point, it use to navigate to the previous /next cut points, despite of Audio/Video/Track number.

In this version, when I press the same key it only respects the cuts of Video Track 1.

How I can fix this to behave like the older versions?

User interface or workspaces

In Premiere Elements 2026, Go to Previous/Next Edit Point behavior has changed compared to older versions.

The playhead now stops at the first edit point it encounters across all enabled tracks — audio and video combined — not video-only and not track-priority–aware.

So if an Audio Track 2 has a cut before Video Track 2 , the shortcut will stop on the audio cut first, even if the video cut is visually more important.

This is by design in Elements 2026, not a keyboard shortcut corruption.

Workaround - Temporarily disable audio track targeting

Before navigating:
1. Click the speaker icon on audio tracks you don’t want considered
2. Use Go to Previous/Next Edit Point

3. The playhead will now stop on video edits only

If I understand correctly, whatever you have mentioned, used to work on previous versions but not working on 2026.

If I have 3 audio tracks and 1 video track and they do not sync, sometimes the cursor do not stop at audio. If I have a adjustment layer, the cursor absolutely do not respect that.

Thanks for clarifying — and yes, your understanding is correct.

In Premiere Elements 2026, this command no longer behaves the same way as in earlier versions. Go to Previous/Next Edit Point does not evaluate all edit points equally. With multiple unsynced audio tracks, some audio cuts may be skipped, and adjustment layer edits are not consistently treated as valid edit points, even when enabled and unlocked.

This behavior is not related to keyboard customization or preferences and cannot be changed via settings. It differs from older versions and can appear inconsistent in complex timelines.

Your observations are valid and reproducible, and we’ve shared this feedback internally as it highlights a workflow gap compared to previous releases.

Thank you for taking the time to document this.

In the timeline you can see there is a cut in the Video 2 (marked in red square) and another cut in Audio 2 (where the timeline pointer is). When I press shortcuts for Go To Previous Edit Point or Go To Next Edit Point, it respects for the audio 2 track, not the video 2 track. Also default Up and Down buttons do not respect that.

You may test it at your end.

Not seeing this on my end.

Maybe trash preferences.

Works fine on Windows. Playhead stops at every cut, regardless on which track the clips are.

Are you using the standard up/down shortcut?

No,

I am using this one.

This has been created in APE2025, not sure what is wrong with this one. My shortcuts are Z - X - C - V

You cannot have 4 different kbsc for just 2 shorcuts

V is selection tool and C is cut.

Why not use the standard keys.
