With the left slider you can zoom in or out of the timeline (keyboard
shortcuts [Up Arrow] and [Down Arrow]). If the slider is set to the left-

When you have zoomed into the timeline, you can change the viewing
position of the timeline with the right slider. You can go to the end of
the timeline by pulling this slider to the right, and to the beginning of
the timeline by pulling it to the left.

Via the Configuration Tool (button CONFIG… or Options »
