Keystrokes for navigating multiple segments in matrix editor.

[Alextone358]

This is not an issue, but an enhancement/feature request.

When multiple segments are selected and the matrix editor is opened, each segment has to be selected in turn with a mouseclick.

I respectfully suggest adding a pair of keystrokes, to navigate between segments while the matrix editor is open. For those of us who spend a lot of time in the editor, this would make for rapid navigation, and reduce keyboard/mouse hand switching movements.

In both the official and forked versions of Rosegarden, Alt+PgUp and Alt+PgDown will change the current active segment through the set being edited in the matrix (or notation) editor.

For my own use of Rosegarden, I've changed these in the matrix editor to [ and ]. Go to "Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts..." in the main window, scroll down to "Matrix", "Previous Segment" and "Next Segment", and follow the instructions for customizing the shortcuts. Maybe these should be the defaults, but I've tried to change as little of official Rosegarden as possible while adding the fork's features and improvements.

The active segment can also be changed via the scroll wheel in the lower right, either by clicking and moving the mouse or with the mouse scrollwheel. Or (only in the fork) via the right-click menu in the matrix grid area, or by clicking a note in a segment other than the current one.

It's not your fault if you didn't know all of these methods. ;) Rosegarden is such a huge program that it's hard to know everything that's in it. :(

Thanks for the heads up. I like the idea of using brackets instead. I'm a keystrokes over mouse user, so anything that helps me achieve that gets my vote.
