Features for Performance Use Cases

Relative Midi Mapping
It would be cool if you could assign the same midi controls to Loop, Set Start, Set End on all channels, but only route the incoming midi command to a selected channel. This would be useful for DJ and performance use cases, as to not consume so many knobs and buttons. Currently everything is a 1-for-1 mapping.
Smaller Increments for Loop End when Midi Controlled
Another DJ use case. Right now if you map a controller to Set End (of Loop), when you turn the knob it goes from 0 0 1 to 1 0 0. It would be nice if via the midi controller (turning a knob) the increments were smaller, 1 bar to 3/4 bar to 1/2 note to 1/4 note, 1/16, 1/32, and didn't just jump from 0 0 1 to 1 0 0. On the upward side, 1 bar, 2 bar, 4 bar, 8 bar, 16 bar increments would be nice. The upward direction also kind of jumps with no fine tune control.
Additional Key Commands
Right now I'm using Bome's Midi Translator with a controller to automate selecting the browser, navigating to a track, and loading it to a channel. The fact that you can only get to the browser via Control-F is a bit weird, kind of a hack. A proper key command to get into the browser would be helpful.
Beyond that, the tricky part is loading a bunch of clips onto a channel that has more clips in it than you are loading from the new song. For example, I have Song A on Channel / Deck 1 with 15 clips (each is a cue point) and am now going to load Song B to Deck 1 with 10 clips. Having it overwrite the remaining 5 was a pain (I figured it out). It would be a lot easier if you could key command "Select Track Content" which you can get to by right clicking on the channel name.
Thank you!
