playback hotkeys and metronome

Hi all,
recently I've had to play with other DAWs (Mostly Logic X and GarageBand) and I've been increasingly frustrated about the lack of tap tempo and live slider to adjust it. 
Another thing I can't seem to find, I use now a wireless keyboard and I would like to move the time cursor backward/forward, can't seem to find the hotkey to do that, is that possible?
 
Thanks for listening,
Cedric

    Tap tempo is part of the tempo dialog
    There are a variety of "Go to" functions available for keyboard shortcuts.
    One can also create CAL scripts to adjust the now time and bind them to shortcuts. For example:
    a script to move forward
    (do
        (+= Now 30)
    )
     
    a script to move backward
    (do
        (int offset 30)
        (if (< Now offset)
            (= Now 0)
               (-= Now offset)
        )
    )

    Thanks a tad,
    I'll try the script way, I already use W for RTZ but what I need is exactly what you have in those CALs.
     
    Cheers mate!

    works like a charm, actually setting 2 jump sizes!
    Need to check about the zoom too. If you have an idea... :)
    Thanks again!

    found it in the regular commands for views, bound to AltGr left/right for zoom in/out, and Ctrl left/right to move, it's really fast.

    I was about to post the standard zoom shortcuts. There are also a few unbound zoom functions in the Keyboard Shortcuts setup screen. Go to Preferences > Customizatons > Keyboard Shortcuts and search for zoom in Global bindings. Make sure the Advanced radio button is selected at the bottom of the Preferences dialog to see Keyboard Shortcuts.
