re. command to "play that clip I'm editing, and place timeline loop start marker at the beginning of it"
guess what? svn trunk rev.2324+ (qtractor 0.5.0.10+) introduces something like this:
New immediate edit/loop-range settings from current clip extents, accessible on the main menu (Clip/Range Set, Loop Set) and from MIDI clip editor menu as well (File/Range Set, Loop Set).
might be just what you're asking ;)
re. my commands ("h" to get back to the start mark, and ";" to get forward to it) do not work in midi clip edit mode..?
that's probably correct: keyboard shortcut configuration settings are kept separate and independent between main application window and all midi clip editor windows. there are some which are equivalent in function like transport-backward and -forward. for those cases you'll have to repeat the shortcut setting on the midi clip editor window too (Help/Shortcuts...) , otherwise it will keep the factory defaults eg. backspace for transport-backward.
