Good evening

Thank you very much for sharing your great and very useful work!

I have just tested it and noted that it's sometimes hard to find the right frames because the frame list preview images are too small. Therefore It would be great if we could slide the horizontal scrollbar and this action automatically changes the current selected frame:

btw.: I know we can use the mouse wheel, but it's soooooooo slow if one has more than about 50 frames.

Thanks a lot, kind regards,
Thomas

Keyboard shortcuts - win - left arrow, right arrow, home to go to first frame, end to go to last frame, page up, page down is like arrows. Strange focus issues. Click outside the main pasteboard frame and the the keyboard shortcuts don't work. Cntrl and right arrow moves the select rectangle and not the actual frame selection.

Keyboard Shortcuts are nice, but annoying in this case

Thank you, @joekingTheThird3 for your notes!,

but it would be much faster and useful if we could just move the slider.
Keyboard Shortcuts are nice if they are used 1 to maybe 5 times, but if a recording has more than 15 frames, then Keyboard Shortcuts are very annoying. Just imagine that you want to navigate forward 300 frames quickly :-)

Please don't use `Win` Keyboard Shortcuts - or at least, let the user change them.

Especially the win - cursor left / right / up / down keyboard shortcuts are ideal for window managers, so on our computers, these keys are already occupied.
