    Trim Mode

    I've finally upgraded my old Xpress Pro system to MC 4 and am learning the ins and outs but have run into an infuriating function that I'm sure is related to a setting I'm missing - whenever I hit the "A" or "S" keys to go to previous or next edits, the system enters trim mode.  Is there a way to turn this off?

    Thaniks in advance.

    Remap those keys with FF and RW.

    Thanks for the continued dongle support

    Another solution would be hold the Ctrl key down and click in the clip on the timeline toward the side closest to the edit that you want your cursor to snap to.  Hope that's clear.

    There used to be a keyboard settings file for people migrating from Xpress Pro to MC.  I'm at home at the moment, so I can't look for it, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't still included.  It gives you the full original mappings of the Xpro keyboard in MC.
