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.
