SHIFT + NEEDLE SEARCH = NEW TRACK POSITION

Hey guys,
Story:
I accidentally touched the needle search during a performance at a gig. This ultimately train wrecked my set as it skipped to another position of the song. Ever since, I turned the feature off during playback.
However needle search is still a very neat feature to have. I want to be able to use it during playback ONLY while simultaneously holding down shift. It's the safe and logical way to go about it when performing live.
(P.S. I am aware of the upcoming update with new mapping capabilities. Serato should still consider making this a setting)
If you agree give this post a +1!!!

I do have it off during playback (for safe measure). However there are times I want to use the needle search during playback, and using shift to access it is a good idea.

I think it should be a shift function too. I have an SZ and have caught it going for the FX in a dark booth once or twice.
Another fail safe might be to take the guess work out of where it would fall. If a ghost playhead (the intended new playhead position) appeared on the GUI when you touched the strip - so you know where in the track it going to land- but it only jumps to this point when you let go. This would give you a good chance to fix a mistake too.
