New shortcut idea!

I have been racking my brain trying to come up with the optimal shortcut for crossfade editing. in my workflow I typically zoom in to the first crossfade on a track and then once I have it where I want it, I move to the next one on that track, but moving to the next one could be as simple as one click and currently it is not. I just came up with a bit of a janky macro workaround but no doubt Fender could perfect this into a sleek key command. Call it "goto next cossfade" and bake it into the command that when you hit it the next crossfade is dead center of the screen! that would be BOMB!

I forget where I saw it, as it was like a year or three ago where by tabbing [tab key] went to the next zero cross fade. That always seemed like a good option for such things.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

So pressing tab executes the shortcut “focus next”, which seems to snap the cursor to the next transient and/or Crossfade. But when I am zoomed in, the cursor just disappears, my screen doesn’t follow the cursor position. And having to press it so many times to get past all of the transients to eventually get to the next Crossfade seems a little bit cumbersome. There’s got to be a better way
 
I've developed two key shortcuts that go to "start of event" and "end of event" and assigned them to F7 & F8. Look into that scenario.
You could maybe further develop it as a macro that locates to the end of event (do your xfade thingy) then TAB into next event transient and on to event end. Or something similar.
