Command assigned to left/right arrow in timeline panel?

[Kendall Shaw]

The option appears to be “NudgeLeft” etc. in the CCompCompCmd section. I did this to disable the shortcuts:

“NudgeLeft” = “()”
“NudgeLeftMore” = “()”
“NudgeRight” = “()”
“NudgeRightMore” = “()”
“NudgeUp” = “()”
“NudgeUpMore” = “()”
“NudgeDown” = “()”
“NudgeDownMore” = “()”

The file is in the preferences area. Edit->Preferences->General->Reveal preferences in explorer (on windoze maybe it says finder on the mac, but it’s so intuitive that you already know).

Named like Adobe After Effects 13.2 Win eo_US Shortcuts

Page up/down move forward and backward along the timeline. In other applications left and right arrow move forward and backward. In AE left and right arrow keys skew the image left and right by one pixel.

So, every time I use photoshop or premiere or virtualdub for example, then come back to AE, I almost always press the arrow key, notice the timeline didn’t move and then try to figure out how many pixels the image was skewed by in order to undo it.

Actually, maybe it means that I have been using the timeline in some atypical mode or something. You are not used to left/right arrow moving the video image left/right by 1 pixel?

Using computers as a measure of caution is a good idea when the cost is low to do so, even if it does not appear to make anything much easier in individual cases. So, something like arrow keys potentially introducing errors in your video that you don’t notice could be something worth taking precautions to avoid.

If I start wanting to move the image it could be that I would want to have the arrow key shortcuts for that.
