How do I move clips around using arrow keys

[Stephen Lin]

Most of the time I have to merge separate drum parts into a single channel when working with MIDI files in Format 1. The fastest way I've found to do it is to move the clips on top of each other by pressing the arrow keys on my keyboard and flattening the comp.

Now I have a fresh install of Cakewalk on a separate computer, and I could not figure out why the arrow keys don't move the clips. I don't necessarily remember what settings I touched to make the arrow keys work that way, but that's what I've gotten used to.

I attached a video of what happens on both computers.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Probably just a keyboard shortcut difference.  try exporting your keyboard shortcuts from the first computer and import them into the second one.

Thank you! The thought that it was a keyboard shortcut completely went over my head.

The exact function that it was bound to was "Process | Nudge | Up " which I actually don't remember setting. On the fresh install of Cakewalk it was not bound at all.
