Hi,
I haven't found any keyboard shortcut to go to the next / last sample or instrument on the sample / instrument key. i think these shortcutes could be really useful.

Im sorry to say this, but I don't really follow you here.

It is possible that you refer to an existing key possibility, but since you say that its not there, you probably mean something else. Can you elaborate?

If you have several patterns in your  sequence, you can get from one pattern to another by pressing "+" and "-". so you can fastly change to the last or next pattern in the sequence. and i didn't find any identical shortcut for the sample and instrument screens. but sometimes i need to switch rapidly between two or even three samples, and clicking these tiny buttons is too time-consuming (i.e. if you want to do a comparison).

And you don't mean the shortkey for Previous Instrument, and Next Instrument in the Global Hotkeys section?

Cus if not, then I'm still not following you.

That's kinda it, but i don't like that it's global, coz i want to set it to "+" and "-", which is already used to jump between patterns in the pattern tab...

Use MPTracker 's old default key then. Ctrl+ arrow up and down.

they'are already set to ctrl+cursor, but it's definately not very comfortable :) And I think it's in general a good idea not to make it as a "global key"... IMO one should be able to use different (or the same) shortcuts in pattern and sample editor.
