On Stop, Rewind to Now Marker

There is W for return to zero RTZ.

I once assigned keyboard shortcuts to my number pad 7 << to REW and my 9 >> FF.
this was before I used a control surface. it gave me a quick fix and believe it or not, it was very handy.
just go to preferences and keyboard shortcuts. there is a slew of functions.
 
as for your question, im confused as weather you want the now time to stop at your previous marker, or you want to use something other than the spacebar to control the transport.
be more specific.

Good point. I'm not sure either.

There is W for return to zero RTZ.
 

Hi Thanks,
i guess maybe my question wasn't clear, I realize w returns to 0, or start of track/file, regardless of where now time marker was placed, and space bar may be set in track options to either, stop where/when pressed, or return to where now time marker was last placed, and holding shift key and pressing space bar will do the opposite of what option is selected, and inadvertently pressing space twice returns it to 0 also, and/or to start of looped section.
 
However, what Im asking is, if I can have 2 different keys assigned simultaneously, one that will "rewind" play-head to where now time marker was last placed, (e.g., "spacebar") and one to stop play-head and remain at that point (e.g. "enter" key), rather than having to hold shift/spacebar, or return to option menu and change to one or the other.  I use this example because a video editing software I use functions in this way in edit window, however this software also effectively sets 2 set points, the last set playback point (spacebar) selected with mouse/cursor on timeline, and the most recent stop/edit point (enter) and toggles between them, this would be ideal, but not expecting this in this question.
Suffice it to say Im often annoyed to point of yelling profanities, and upsetting the wife, LOL, In any case Id find it more effective for me, if possible having 2 separate keys assigned to these 2 separate functions.

Good Day, small question?
 
Is it possible to assign a second key, than the space bar to this function?, i.e., one that rewinds, and one that stops, (aside from having to press "shift" spacebar).
 
Cheers
 

Yes, you can assign any key to "Rewind to Now Marker on Stop" or "Stop with Now Marker" via Preferences > Customization > Keyboard Shortcuts.
 
Type i.e. "stop" in the Search field under Global Bindings to find this function.
 

Ok great, Ill check that out.

I'm afraid you cannot.  I tried all of the options earlier today without success.  It takes two key presses - either concurrent as is the default ctl+space or in sequence e.g. space bar then w.  AFAIK, the command to "stop and rewind to Now Marker" is not available for binding.  I think it would be handy to have the option though.

It would be a handy option, I guess for now Ill just have to discipline myself to remember option selected, and hold "ctrl+space", or just "space" (and to not to shout profanities when mistaken, LOL).

I see this function as available here:

You could achieve what you want if you use for:
 
"one that will "rewind" play-head to where now time marker was last placed" = key "O" (as seen in my pic) or any other key.
 
"one to stop play-head and remain at that point" = space bar (uncheck "On Stop, Rewind to Now Marker" under TV > Options)
 
 
 
 
 

Hi Klaus, I may be mistaken but I think the OP is wanting the ability to have both choices available with "one" key stroke at all times.  One to stop in place and one to stop and rewind to Now Marker.  As I stated, it doesn't look possible to do this.  I assume the option your referring to in the screen capture is this one?

However, when assigned, it simply toggles the On Stop, Rewind to Now Marker selection under Options in TV.  This means you still have 2 key presses (albeit not simultaneously) to change the placement of the Now Marker when the transport is stopped.  i.e. after starting Play, you can hit the hotkey (B in my pic) to place the Marker back where it was when you pressed Play or press it again to keep it attached to the play "head" but you still have to hit the space bar to Stop.  The hotkey simply toggles the selection under Options which is a bit handier.
 

Im thinking if can I bind "pause" function (as I tried using Sonar transport module) to its own key, with TV Option  - On Stop, Return to Now Marker, checked, will effectively do what I want, pause, will stop with cursor, but now time remains where last marked marked, press pause again, and it resumes play at that point, spacebar, as set, returns to now marker.

Is that any different from what I suggested in post #11? The "Play/Pause" I assigned to the E key (via Preferences -> Customization -> Keyboard Shortcuts) is the same as the Pause button on the Transport module.

No, its essentially the same, Im just not using "w" key, just spacebar returns to now time, and as you set, "E" pauses, pressing "E" again resumes play, (your animation seemed to indicate pressing "space-bar" to resume play after "E"  or "W"), However, I note, in your option, "W" allows/causes now time to advance to where pressed, which may be desirable also.
 
Cheers. 

However, I do think the Pause hotkey is a good idea.  Thanks Tak!
