Reversing up/down arrows for playhead direction

I'm new to PP, but have researched for hours the following question. Is is possible to reverse the arrow direction for playhead behavior, so the "down" arrow will move the playhead forward in time through clips rather than the opposite? This might seem like minutiae, but is challenging me constantly to rewire my brain. The "down" arrow just automatically denotes"backward" as the "up" arrow is forward. Lacking two sets of left & right arrows, do I need some extensive neurotherapy?

TIA

Yes, go to Edit > Keyboard Customization and remap "Go to Next Edit Point" and ""Go to Previous Edit Point".

I just used the UP arrow to go towards the beginning of your quote to shorten it up, then the down arrow to go back down towards the end of this message so I can type... ctrl-pgUP goes to the beginning and ctrl-pgDN goes to the end of a Word document, email, text, etc... Home (Up) End (Dn)... I would suggest the "neurotherapy" you mentioned on this one.
