Description

Within the timeline widget (Cue filter, Sequencer), the FWD and REV buttons, in addition to the record button, on the xtouch should light up.
Pressing those should jump to the next or previous key frame, thereby setting the cursor as well as the faders.

Pressing Record should modify any keyframe less than 40ms away instead of adding a new one.

Research direction

Start by locating the timeline widget used by the Cue filter and Sequencer, then trace how the X-Touch record button currently reaches it. Verify how cursor, fader, and keyframe updates are represented. Done means FWD and REV light up and navigate adjacent keyframes while updating the cursor and faders, and Record modifies a keyframe within 40ms instead of adding one.
