Segment Timeline Shuttle: Made that up. Often times moving one frame/ audio unit, many frames/ audio units, or to next edit, next edit on selected track or moving to next marker does not get me to where I want to be on the timeline. Can we have a new big idea about how to move around in the timeline? My fingers don't like the long loney trek over to the number keypad either. I want to step back in the timeline in defined segments of time. 'Step back many' is used constanly in my workflow, but sometimes you want to get crazy and step back 'mighty.' In short, don't lose the 'step back many' feature, but we need a secondary option for how far to travel the timeline.
Example of how I would use this. I set my 'Step Back Many' default to 18 frames, I do an edit, hit the Step Back Many Button and watch it and move on. I might also want to verify how it feels in context leading up to it, so I want to step back 18 seconds. I would have to use the mouse or pre-set an in-point 18 seconds earlier or have a marker there, then use shortcuts... I don't want to do all of that pre-planning, I just want to "Step Back Mighty" and back up a bit.

Hopefully that's clear. Thank you.
