Sleetah2000 7 Posted April 16, 2019 This is just a hypothetical, but I’m curious to know which shortcuts are really being used in the community. Let’s say you have a limited time to create a major project from Midi through Mastering, but you can only use 5 shortcuts (preset or custom) and no more. What do you choose? And what are the next shortcuts that regrettably wouldn’t make the cut? I’ll start from a hobbyist perspective: Gotta Haves: Expand/collapse MultiDock (D) Maximize/restore MultiDock (SHIFT+D) Show/hide Inspector (I) Show/hide Browser (B) File > Save (CTRL+S) On the Bubble: Piano Roll view (ALT+3) Tough one to lose to manual mouseclick Show Tools HUD (T) I’d just have to keep the toolbar visible in the control bar Patch Browser (;) Just learned about this one on the forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuckebaby 695 Posted April 16, 2019 ALT+Z = UNDO view / to undo any zooming. is probably one of my favorites. Because it gets you back to a certain point you want the project to be viewed as. I wont bore you with my CTRL+C shortcuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sleetah2000 7 Posted April 17, 2019 The limitations of my own challenge were clearly beyond me. Msmcleod's list (Spacebar, W, R, Ctrl Z, Ctrl S) is actually more accurate for my own Gotta haves. Being a shortcut junkie, these are as involuntary as breathing. Two others I forgot were transport controls of Ctrl Pgup and Pgdn (prev/next measure) Ctrl-shift Pgup and Pgdn (prev/next marker) I’d never used Alt-z before yesterday, but I can see where I’d also make use of that as well. Are there other shortcuts that would make your essential shortlist (assuming 5 is too few)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marled 163 Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Especially for comping I often use: Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z Ctrl+Scroll (scroll left/right) F5 (Smart Tool) F8 (Edit Tool) D Edited April 17, 2019 by marled Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RBH 136 Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) I set-up short cuts for back and forward to next marker - those are pretty important to me. definately : space bar - Just GO W - rewind to beginning Alt F9 - for Synth Rack ALT F3 - Piano roll B - lose the browser Edited April 18, 2019 by RBH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
