Although what you describe might do exactly what I want, I suddenly 
realise that for other people it might have unwanted side effects, so a 
rethink here:

I think I now understand Go previous cuestep in the control window  is 
coupled to the same programming as Go previous cuestep in the cuelist 
(correct me if I'm wrong), so changing this would have some 
implications for your programmed cues also? This would not be a good 
thing for people doing the "back and forth" sweep you demonstrated, 
they have to check if manual fadetime is off then.
Maybe it's more preferable to couple the manual fadetime to the Faders 
off button as it's only used for editing purposes I think.
So, faders off becomes  ' fade in manual fadetime' which could be 0s if 
you want no fading time whatsoever (the old situation) , this will also 
make a 'soft reset' in manual fadetime possible.
Better idea, not?

Let me hear what you think!
