When I'm in the effects panel and click the "Go to next keyframe" arrow, the CTI within the panel will move to the keyframe. However if that next keyframe is beyond the end of what's currently visible in the source window's timeline then I have to manually scroll to make the CTI visible. Is there a way to either have the source window automatically scroll to the CTI after its moved during a "Go to next keyframe" arrow? Or failing that, is there a way/shortcut to scroll the window to the current CTI?
For example, let's say I have a 10 second clip in the source window and I'm currently magnified so that only the first two seconds of clip is visible in the source window's timeline. I have three keyframes; one at second #0, second #1, and second #8 into my clip. When I click "Go to next keyframe" it'll move the CTI to keyframe at second #1, and the CTI is still visible within the source window. So far so good. If I click "Go to next keyframe" again, the CTI will move to the keyframe at second #8, but the source window still only shows the first two seconds of my clip in the timeline. I'd like it to automatically scroll so that the CTI is visible again (ie, scroll the source window to second #8 into my clip).
I found a solution, albeit indirect. If you assign a keyboard shortcut to the "Select next Keyframe" and "Select previous Keyframe" commands (by default there is no shortcut assigned), then whenever you use those shortcuts Premiere will automatically scroll the source window timeline to the playhead after it advances to the next or previous keyframe.
FYI, I chose <Shift>+X for "Select next Keyframe" and <Shift>+Z for "Select previous Keyframe". These keys are convenient to use while editing. For

I don't know a way to make it automatically scroll, but you can (if the effects panel is selected) use the "=" and "-" keys to zoom in and out of the effects panel timeline to reveal more keyframes or move the view in to show more detail.

For those unfamiliar, you can set the shortcuts by going to Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Type "Select next Keyframe" in the command search box on the left. Then click on the shortcut column next to it, which will open an edit field - press the keyboard shortcut you want to assign to it there. Repeat the procedure for "Select previous Keyframe".
