Nice idea with the silver pen. I use a white grease pencil.

Glad someone else is looking for semi-auto patch reading. 

Wish Mac had a free hotkey utility. Been using Quickeys demo - works with both Windows

needed in the future!

To me the quest for shortcuts is not so much about speed but smoother workflow.
