#121 Problems with real-time insertion of Time Instant
1. The Enter key does NOT insert points into the Time Instants layer, as indicated on the Edit menu: "Insert Instant at Playback Position". However, the Enter key on the numPad works. The problem is that this function cannot be used on laptops, which rarely have a numpad Enter key.
2. Points inserted with the "Insert Instant at Playback Position" function seems to be delayed with about 100 ms. This is a bit impractical, since all points subsequently need to be manually aligned.

1. The "Enter" key is the one on the keypad -- the other is "Return". Pedantry aside, you're quite right: Enter is no good for laptops, so SV also supports ";" (semicolon) as another binding for the same function.
2. This is a real problem. The problem here is that we don't have any control over the length of time it takes a keystroke to reach SV -- it always goes through the GUI toolkit first. The actual delay varies a great deal depending on the operating system platform and apparently some other factors (different people on the same platform have had different results). See also http://vamp-plugins.org/forum/index.php/topic,11.0.html in which I suggested that I might be able to add support for tapping on MIDI devices with more reliable timing -- something that unfortunately I have had not had the time to do. Very open to good ideas (and code patches...) for how to resolve this one.
