I can't seem to reset the start marker from the keyboard in arrangement mode. In programs like Logic if you hit "zero" on the numeric pad it'll return the playhead to the start of the track. I can't seem to find a similar key command on Live. I have to use the mouse and press "stop" twice to do it.

Anyone know what the key command is to do it from the keyboard?

Maybe this helps: 33.5 Transport

to be fair, Home is a really poor shortcut for something like rewind. you have to move your hand away from either wasd or the mouse. you won't tend to use it while using the arrow keys.
I'd suggest autohotkey-ing it to W, Sonar style.

The home key isn't doing it for me. Most of the time Home brings me back to the previous stopped point of the playhead, and I have to click somewhere on the time line (usually twice), then clicking Home works most of the time. Is there no definite 'return to zero' key or shortcut? This is driving me bananas.

Tap Spacebar to start/stop, double tap to return to the start.
