Well, the smart thing to do would be to hit shift-command-A (or shift-control-A on a PC) to clear all of the tracks, then have keyboard mapping of some tracks. I have the first four video tracks mapped and the first 8 audio tracks mapped. That way, if you just want to jump to edits or markers in the video track, you would hit cmd-shft-A, (V1), FFWD. Quick. Precise. No cornfields. No street corners. All doable in less than 2 seconds.

Thanks for the thought Benjamin.I know about that one but generally I really am trying to go to the combination I "think" I have selected. It is just the occasional overlooked track (generally audio in the 16 to 24 area) that sends me to the Cornfield. (A Billy Mumy Twilight Zone reference for those who are neither fans of the Twilight Zone nor Billy Mumy.)Perhaps just about everyone who uses FF/RW makes that setting change so the issue never comes up.
Possibly this will solve your issue:Composer Settings > FF/RW > then select "Ignore Track Selectors."That will make FF/RW stop at every cut on _any_ track in the sequence.Cheers,BenjaminOn May 19, 2015, at 6:45 AM, "Dan McCabe danlist@bestmail.us [Avid-L2]" <Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com> wrote:On the subject of irritating behaviors -
I use the FF/REW commands a lot. Occasionally, and this is admittedly
operator error, I will leave an errant audio track selected and the odd
combination of tracks selected will send me to the head or tail of the
sequence. Since I work on hours, that can be like getting sent to
Siberia.
If one really wants to go to the head or tail, there are dedicated keys
(home and end) for that so wouldn't it make more sense for the Avid to
give me the "bonk" sound and stay where it is on the timeline if the
only combination of edits on the selected tracks is at the head and
tail? Or couldn't that be a setting?
Am I really the only one who screws up like this?
I've experimented a little with hitting "undo" which gets me back to
where I was but I've found sometimes "redo" disappears meaning I having
to recreate the edit. I don't know if that happens after changing the
track selection before hitting FF/REW.
Working in 7.04 in case it as changed in 8. I realize the option key
will get me to the next edit without regard to track selection but that
can be a lot of stepping if there are several audio edits or alternate
shots stacked below.
