Unable to bind "Go to selected clip start" shortcut

midm

Description

In user command, when trying to run "Go to selected clip start" with Premiere shortcut (shift + begin by default), it doesn't work

Expected Behavior

Playhead should go at the beginning of selected clip.

Actual Behavior

Nothing happens.

I tried with a custom keyboard shortcut other than SHIFT+begin, still not working.

midm begin is it on numpad? Do you have NumLock enabled?

Temporary fix with a custom script 😅

function getFirstSelectedClip() {
    var tracks = app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks;
    var firstClip;
    var startTicks = Infinity
    for (var i = 0; i < tracks.numTracks; i++) {
        var clips = tracks[i].clips;
        for (var j = 0; j < clips.numItems && clips[j].start.ticks < startTicks; j++) {
            if (clips[j].isSelected()) {
                firstClip = clips[j]
                startTicks = clips[j].start.ticks
                break;
            }
        }
    }

    return firstClip;
}

var first = getFirstSelectedClip();
if (first)
    app.project.activeSequence.setPlayerPosition(first.start.ticks);

midm beautiful! Finally I see that someone could use "Execute Script" command.
A note on a code:

// getSelection() returns an array of all selected clips
// array is ordered from the very first clip to the last one on a timeline,
// so selection[0] is going to be the first selected clip
var selection = app.project.activeSequence.getSelection();
if (selection.length)
    app.project.activeSequence.setPlayerPosition(selection[0].start.ticks);

Sir_Ivan Oh wow ! That's definitely new ! 😃

begin is it on numpad? Do you have NumLock enabled?
It is not, but weirdly when I disable NumLock it works.
When rebinding the action in Premiere on anything else it doesn't work either way.

Sir_Ivan

so it is related to NumLock. I know of that issue, Excalibur doesn't account for NumLock state. I will fix it.
What other shortcuts did you try to use and they didn't work?
