Is it possible to jump to either the middle or bottom of bookmarked words instead of the top in relation to the pointer?

It should be possible to code, but I don't think it's a good idea. If it aligns you to the middle or the button of the word, the talent might not have enough time to read it. By placing it just bellow the center, it gives them the chance to catch and reading, even with the prompter in motion. Of course, for that they'd have to expect it, which would only be the case if they themselves are the prompter operators.

Should I add a setting that determines whether we jump to the center of the word or the top of the word when skipping to markers?

Not a critical issue imo... Since you believe the current strategy is the best approach, I defer to your judgment.

Well, you're the subject matter expert at the craft, so I'd like to know more of where you're coming from when you ask about "jumping to either the middle or bottom of bookmarked words".

How could the current approach be sub-optimal for you or your talents? When would the proposed options be preferable?

QPrompt targets different groups of users, the defaults try to gravitate towards the needs of the inexperienced individuals making a video on their own, but all the options for the professional operator working under different settings should be available with ease.

Haven't been reliably able to recreate the scenario I experienced before, whereby placing the reading region arrow at the bottom (to facilitate above the lens prompting with minimal eye deflection), resulted in only a partial line revealing at the bottom of the QPrompt window when navigating to that bookmark.

If I can reproduce, I will post more.
