Playhead follows Range tool functionality when in Play mode

“Playhead follows Range tool” mode moves playhead to where user clicks / creates range.

If you are in Play mode, the playhead is obviously moving, typically from left to right.
Currently the “Playhead follows Range tool” mode has no functionality when Play mode is active.

I was wondering, should it?
As far as single LMB clicks, seems like it should move the playhead and then the playhead will continue playing from where that LMB click was made?

Main question would be how to handle when an actual range is created by user. Seems a less likely action then the action mentioned above, but decision would need to be made…
-Do no move the playhead until the range has been created (user lets go of LMB), in which the playhead would move to the beginning of the created range.
-Ignore moving the playhead when LMB hold and drag is detected.
-Or if anyone else has any ideas to share?

Also I have not thought this all the way through, if anyone can think of any other conflicts that would make this suggested behavior no desired, please mention them.

(If current behavior is desired by some users? guess maybe this could be offered as a setting?)

Again, I was wondering if this behavior would be considered?

Thank you to anyone who reads this

There is no “play mode” so I am not really sure what you mean here. I suspect you just mean “if the transport is currently moving” aka “the playhead is moving”.

The feature comes from ProTools and we defer to their design in this matter.
