move Now time while playing back

[Bassfaceus]

Hi all..

i dont know if its possible but ive tried everything and i cant work it out.

like it says i want to move the Now time either by right/left click during playback

i know i can click in the to top bit (sorry forgot what its called)

but i just want to be able to click from wherever  i am on the screen.

 now i know about the setting in Options/click behavior but this only works for me when its

stopped not while its playing..

D'ya know what i mean? Thanks

Not all sure about Cakewalk, but many daws have a setting whether clicking in empty area would move Now time cursor.
Look for something like that.

Look under Transport shortcuts.   

I don't know what is different in your settings but when I click anywhere during playback the now time jumps there but only backwards.  Doesn't seem to work for ahead.  But then I use CTRL_W to toggle the rewind to  stop in place . I always have one hand on the spacebar and the other on the mouse so if I hit the spacebar the song stops and I can click ahead. Just used to it without even realizing I do it that way. I didn't realize you COULD click ahead using the timeline, thanks for pointing that out,, a new trick.

thanks for that...but nope i definitely cannot click "anywhere" and make the now time follow .

.ive looked at all the transport settings and they seem to be right.
