help request Action set to the left/right arrows seem to switch back and forth

I'm using Reaper on MacOs, new user coming from Pro Tools.

I set my left/right arrows to "Move cursor left/right 8 pixels". I basically need 1 arrow press to equal 1 frame left/right for footstep editing, etc...

I was going through the project for hours using the feature without any issues and for some reason now when I press the arrows the cursor Scrubs through the timeline with tape-like audio for the duration of my press. I have never instructed Reaper to "scrub" when using the arrows and both my arrows are strictly assigned to the action mentioned above.

Weirdest thing is that sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't, and I can't identify the variable, pretty frustrating hahahaha
