For example, lets say I navigate to the beginning of Bar 5. And I go to edit an audio clip in Bar 6. When I hit play again, the audio starts at the beginning of the clip I'm editing instead of the beginning of Bar 5.

Furthermore, you cant even move about the transport using your Arrow keys because its focus is no longer in the grid.

Is there a keyboard shortcut that takes the focus back into the grid where you can use the arrow keys again to navigate through the song?

I Know you can use Option + 2 to get back to arrangement view, but the focus doesnt get you back into transport mode, where you can move about with your keyboard arrows.

specifically llooking for how to get back to the arrow key navigation.

Using Locators and keyboard (or MIDI) mappings could be a good workaround if you often need to start your song at specific moments.
