Exon Jumping

This feature is similar to feature jumping.  To feature-jump, you select a feature track and press Ctrl-F for forward, Ctrl-B for back.  To exon-jump, you select a feature track and press SHIFT-Ctrl-F to center the next exon in your view, SHIFT-Ctrl-B to move back one exon.

GFF style tags for BED files

The "name" field (column 4) of a BED file can contain GFF3 style key-value attribute tags by specifying "gffTags=on" on the track line.  These attributes will be displayed in the mouse hover popup text.
