Timecode Triggers-Help/Suggestion Hog3PCb.1112

I'm currently working on Hog3PC,
b.1112
Programming Wing
17" LCD
17" touchscreen
XP Home SP2

and sychronizing a 47 minute dance show with timecode. We have 14 songs and about 50-90 cues a song. Almost all of the cues are run with timecode. I'm working with the designer and we're playing back the track until we get to the right spot in the song and then he stops playback. At that point we build our look/make our changes and I record the cue and then...manually enter the timecode. Am I missing something, is there an option to record the cue WITH the timecode in the wait column, I can't seem to find it. I'm a pretty fast guy at the keyboard, but x/xx/xx.xx (eleven keystrokes!!) is a pain in the ass to type every minute and a half, even with a Programming Wing.
Thanks all,
Dave

    Brad,
    I guess I wasn't clear. I don't want to 'learn timing.' I already know timing, the timing is where we have stopped the playback and wrote the look and recorded it. Then I have to go in and manually type in the timecode? We're talking some cues run with only 12 frames between them. There's no way to hit 'go' to 'learn timing'. I'm sick of typing in timecode numbers and want to just hit record with an option selected "with timecode" or something like that. Now my request is official, please add the ability to record cues "with timecode" or "with current timecode" or something like that. In the immortal words of James Brown, "Please, please, please, please, please."
