using the default key bindings always act like "save view" here - no
matter, how long the button is pressed. Yes, I removed my old
~/.ardour2/ardour.bindings before testing this. In a second try, i also
manually put the bindings like
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/Editor/save-visual-state-1" "<Ctrl>F1")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/Editor/save-visual-state-2" "<Ctrl>F2")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/Editor/goto-visual-state-1" "<release><Ctrl>F1")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/Editor/goto-visual-state-2" "<release><Ctrl>F2")
into ardour.bindings - no change.

However, assigning  different shortcuts for save and goto now finally
works, so I'm happy. Although I don't like the system bell beep on save so
much.

BTW: Would it be hard to save the view settings in the session file?
This could be very useful.

Besides this, there is a small bug in the crossfade editor:
Dragging curve handles outside the [0..1] range results in
internal gain values <0 / >1.- although the handles visually
stay at the boundary. The following fix would help:
