Management and Modes Group
This group of keys gives access to a wide variety of functions that, due to their diversity,
are difficult to generalize. They include everything from the all‑important Undo and
Redo commands, to splitting and rejoining clips, setting and clearing In and Out points to
control playback and looping, and commands for reverting to the Original Memory, using
Preview Memory, and using Scroll (which is described in more detail later in this chapter).
The Management and Modes keys provide Undo/Redo, range,
Flag and Marker, printer lights, and grade management functionality.
