Jumping between composition markers?

So, as per title, I was wondering if there was a shortcut key to jump between COMPOSITION markers and not layer markers. I try to use J and K, but they keep going to the start and end of the composition and it's pretty frustrating as I have a bunch of them synced to the snares and kicks of a drum of an audio file.

Is the only way I can jump through markers in a composition layer markers? Please tell me there is a way ASewlyQ6ZaPOAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC

Unfortunately not. Numbered comp markers, yes - unlabeled ones, no.

My usual solution is creating a null layer for these markers to live on.

Use this script - redefinery.com: rd: Copy Comp Markers to convert your Comp Markers into Layer Markers.

This needs to be added so many years ago and it goes to show how much Adobe is truly paying attention to their own users / product feedback.

This is massive for my current project and I'm having a terrible time going through with it for a simple feature that exists in PREMIERE BUT NOT AFTER EFFECTS.

To prevent double posting, I'm bumping this thread as a wishlist adding feature.

This thread is now almost 4 years ago with no changes.
