[Feature suggestion] Jump to next soft-clip in BAM track #1527

Open tetedange13 opened 5 months ago

tetedange13 commented 5 months ago

Hi there,

First thanks for developing IGV, it is a wonderful tool !

I recently discovered hot-keys "(CTRL+)F" and "(CTRL+)B" to navigate through tracks

I may have missed something, but it does not look like there is such feature for BAM tracks ? => May I suggest to add a "jump to next/previous soft-clip" for BAM tracks ?

It could check next BAM record for :

I know it is a bit of a repurposing of IGV => But multiple people in my lab use "IGV scrolling" on their favorite gene, to find complex variants missed by variant callers (which can manifest by symetric soft-clip) => And having such "jump"could drastically speed up this tedious task

Thanks for any kind of help or answer ! Best regards, Felix.
