cursor return to start position
 

I cannot remember how to make cursor return to start position after playback and would greatly appreciate any help here. Every so often I accidentally hit a key combo and this happens, but it's been awhile. It was something like ctrl-m that used to reset this function. I need the cursor to return to the start position it was in when I started playback (so I don't have to constantly move the cursor back when I am working a section for a long time). Can't seem to find it in the manual or the shortcut list. Thanks a bunch

Just wanted to append this information to PT 12.

Options Drop Down Menu -> Insertion Follows Playback

Uncheck to return, after playback, to where you started.

With keyboard focus enabled, the N key toggles this and its really easy accidentally hit that when controlling transport with the spacebar:o

Also, directly under the tools, you can click the second from the right on 12 up. lower versions (before layered editing), it would be the far right one.

I put an arrow to it. If you use keyboard focus N, you can see it switch on/off. Looking at the icon is an easy way to check what mode you are in too.
