Cubase 10: Swapping jog for loop selection

Is there a way to swap the jog wheel scrolling for the loop selection in order to nudge forward by the selected quantize value?

For example, my controller keyboard (NI KK2) has a dial to jog through the project and it works great, however thats not really how I work. Instead I work in loops/sections on a bar by bar basis. Currently I'm working on bar 97-98 and Cubase is looping this range, however shortly I'll be working on bar 98-99. Is there a way to make my jog dial jump forward to the next bar?

I assume in Key Commands but I looked and couldn't see anything.

Left/Right arrows move the cursor by quantize. Not sure if that's what you want or not.

EDIT: To be more specific Navigate->Left/Right or Nudge Left/Right are the key commands that move by quantize value. I'm not sure if they will map to your controller or not.

Hi, thanks for this but I don't think I was clear based on your response.

Let's say I click on a block of audio and then hit Alt-P, this block loops and is highlighted purple in the navigation bar at the top. I would like to turn a dial or press a button to move this entire looping block forward (or backward) by the amount of the selected quantize value (or a default 1 bar will even suffice).

Currently I need to select it with the mouse, wait for the hand to appear and drag it across.

Ahh. I thought you meant the cursor. Actually there is a nudge selected or something like that. Give me a few, I'm not at the dawn to see the exact command

It's in the Nudge menu of keycommands. It's called "nudge Left/Right" for me it's ctrl-right/left arrow. The tricky part is doing the selection you want first. There is select all in loop for example. But there are tons of other commands and combinations based on various needs. For example you could make a macro that trims the loop range, then selects all in loop. After that you can use the nudge Left/Right to do what you are suggesting. I typically only move 1 or two items like that, so the "in loop" isn't usually something I use.

EDIT: Sorry for the ramble.. left/right arrow moves the cursor based on quantize. For me, CTRL+left/right arrow moves selected events instead of the cursor. But I can't remember if I set it up that way or if it's the stock shortcut. But, you still have the issue of how you get the things you want to move selected. So it's really a two step process.
