Bug 471084

SUMMARY
When inputting a specific timecode to jump to, it would be better to take the typed HH:MM:SS:FF digits in pairs from right to left. That's the way other programs do it, and it results in faster, more flexible interaction.

Below is an example of what to expect from the proposed input method, assuming a 25 fps project:
NOTE: when finished typing, user would need to press Enter key to end and process the desired input.

[digits typed  -->  resulting timecode]
0  -->  00:00:00:00
24  -->  00:00:00:24
25  -->  00:00:01:00 
5924  --> 00:00:59:24 
5925  --> 00:01:00:00
595924  -->  00:59:59:24
595925  -->  01:00:00:00
etc...

Also, it'd be just great to allow to enter relative numbers to advance/rewind a certain amount of time from the current time, like shown below:

[current time = 00:05:20:10]
+1510  -->  00:05:35:20
-1510  -->  00:05:05:00
+21510  -->  00:07:35:20
etc...

Finally, I'm not inventing anything here, just describing how things work in Premiere Pro, in this respect.
I'm not a big fan of copying features just for the sake of it, but this feature comes really handy while moving in the timeline on certain kinds of projects.

Thanks for listening!
