I would like to share a bit of my experience with DR17 Studio about timeline navigation. I'm using DR17 nearly daily, I have Speed Editor (using it on Cut page) and also use keyboard quite often when editing on Edit page, but I can't wrap my head around the change of timeline scrolling and zooming. E.g. How often do you use vertical zoom on timeline? For me personally, I use horizontal scroll much more often than horizontal scroll. I mean, the whole experience is worse after upgrading to V17 when BM changed the navigation, partly because of muscle memory. Since everyone has probably different workflow, DR17 would really benefit from being able to customize the keyboard and mouse behavior, for example, to set Shift+Scroll Wheel to horizontal scroll, Scroll Wheel to vertical scroll, etc. Especially when you use other programs for editing the audio, for example. Similar thing with timecode entry on numeric pad without the additional key press, e.g. = as it is now. I can see a lot of potential in DR17, but navigation should be intuitive and easy to use for editing with an option to customize also keyboard and mouse.
