Keyboard Command for Scrolling

Post by lampfilmusic »

Can anyone tell me if they know a keyboard shortcut command to scroll to the right or left gently in e.g. the soundbites window? :?:

(I know that to zoom it's Cmd-left arrow or Cmd-right arrow._

Thank you.

In Commands you have scroll left/right 'a little' as Navigation commands, but they are unassigned. See if that's what you want by assigning key combos to those. If you're at a DP version that supports shift-spacebar, do that and type in 'scroll' to see all the scroll options and assignments.

Check out what CharlzS suggested.
IIRC, "scroll a little" was too little for me. I often use control-L/R arrow to move by "screenfuls". I'm sure there must be some middle ground in the Commands window.
