I wouldn't worry about that posing any problems that shouldn't already have 
been solved acceptably for years.  That comment goes back to revision 7610, 
which, by the looks of how many lines changed in that one, must have been from 
the Reorganization.  I wouldn't expect problems beyond whatever is involved in 
adapting the code to the way things are hooked up now.

I don't think I'd put them on the main transport window.  Step foward/back 
don't have any real meaning on the segment canvas, and these really aren't 
global transport actions.

For that matter, anything on any transport, even one of the local toolbar 
versions, I would expect to have a global effect on the main window and any 
open edit views.  If step forward/back were on a transport toolbar, then it 
would be inconsistent if the cursor moved in one window but not the rest, but 
I think it would be very obnoxious if it actually worked the way its position 
on the transport toolbar would suggest it should.

So while there is only one cursor to do all jobs now, some of the cursor 
actions are still quite local and specific to the individual edit view you're 
working with at the time.

This seems to suggest to me what we need is some kind of local cursor actions 
toolbar that stands by itself, not folding these orphaned actions into 
something else.

What do you (or anyone else) think about that one?  Leave all these Cursor to 
x actions where they are, and make a toolbar out of them, as an easy way to 
discover all the shortcuts.

I think I'll work on that today.  We can ultimately use the icons no matter 
where these actions wind up, and I think the concept feels like the right way 
to go, and will probably work out.
