Tabbing between sounds via the keyboard
If you are interested in getting around quickly in the session and love the keyboard movement features, you will be
happy to know that you can switch from sound to sound via the Tab key and Shift-Tab key combination.
The Tab key will select the next sound on the current track or the first sound on the subsequent track. (If you are
at the end of the last track, it will go to the start of the first track.)
Holding down Shift key and pressing the Tab key will do the opposite of Tab. It will select the previous sound on
the track. If it is the first track, it will select the last sound on the previous track.
