There has got to be SOME kind of "Off Switch!"

I think you don’t have a clear view on the functionality of using markers.
First of all, your location markers do belong to a marker track. Even though you don’t have to create it, and make it visisble, the markers are being put in a marker track.
Secondly, there are regular markers and cycle markers.
You can have regular and cycle markers within the same marker track, or put them into different marker tracks.
Cycle markers and regular markers can be triggered by a (different) key command.
And on top of that, there is a preference “cycle follows when locating to markers”.
Try playing with these functions to create a proper workflow for what you which to achieve.
(Escpecially the preference; when activated, it indeed sets the start and end locators to the value of the marker).

Okay, thanks for the second marker track tip.

2 Marker windows plus a Eucon KC seems to have done the trick. I made a regular marker window and a cycle marker window. The cycle marker window has the full song range as well as the loops. When I’m done with the loops, I select the full song loop, which resets the full song parameters. Then I switch back to the regular marker track to activate it and use a KC to toggle the “cycle follows markers” off! Now I can get back to navigating the full range of the song without being “locked out” on the numeric keypad anymore!

Thanks a lot!
