I am trying to move through samples that are opened in a window. In one case I will, for example, extract audio from a sample cd - and have a window with, say, 6 samples. I want to quickly go forward and back to hear the samples. As I understand it Ctrl+Alt+Right/Left Arrow is the shortcut - but this does not work. Anyone have any idea what i need to do? A lot of the commands below just slowly move the curser 1 pixel...some work,...some don't.

Move one pixel right/left
Right/Left Arrow

Go to end of file
Ctrl+Right Arrow

Go to the next region, loop or marker boundary (if regions, loops, or markers exist in the file)

Go to beginning of file
Ctrl+Left Arrow

Go to the previous region, loop or marker boundary (if regions, loops, or markers exist in the file)

Move one video frame right/left (available only if the data window contains a video file)
Alt+Right/Left Arrow

Move one sample right/left
Ctrl+Alt+Right/Left Arrow

Show the Go To dialog
Ctrl+G

Go to the first sample visible in the waveform display (or beginning of selection)
Home

Go to the first sample in the data window
Ctrl+Home

Go to the last sample visible in the waveform display (or end of selection)
End

Go to the last sample in the data window
Ctrl+End

Move 10% of the current view prior to the cursor position
Page Up

Move 100% of the current view prior to the cursor position
Ctrl+Page Up

Move 10% of the current view past the cursor position
Page Down

Move 100% of the current view past the cursor position
Ctrl+Page Down

Center the cursor in the waveform display
\ or .

Go to the next sample
+ (numeric keypad)

Move 10 samples past the current cursor
Ctrl+numeric keypad +

Go to the previous sample
- (numeric keypad)

Move 10 samples prior to the current cursor
Ctrl+numeric keypad -

I'm having same problems with Sound Forge 10. Just upgraded from 5.0. Unfortunately on 10 Ctrl+Left Arrow just don't work same way as in 5.0 - it moves cursor just one pixel instead of jumping faster (a value between page up/down and left/right). Tried to change keyboard shortcuts without success. :(

It's _very frustrating_. Just makes it impossible to work fast on Sound Forge 10.

Are you stating in terms of 'samples', as per sample rate, or audio segments in a file?
I'm not clear on what your referring to, but some of the jump increments are dependent on the 'Zoom Time' on the waveform display, if that helps any.

Addendum: "Ctrl+Alt+Right/Left Arrow" works for me. Change your time display to "Samples" to confirm.
Some of those shortcuts you listed are not correct at all. Where did they come from?
For instance, the correct shortcut to move to the next or previous marker is Ctrl.+ Left / Right arrows. Shortcut move to the head or tail of a file : Ctrl.+ Home / End.
