SOLVED Keyboard short cut for show/hide bus pane in Console View?

[Billy86]

I've been through all the keyboard shortcuts and can't seem to find one for Show/Hide Bus in the Console View. I see it for show/hide in Track View. Am I missing it? Thanks.

It's definitely map-able to a key-press in the Preferences>Keyboard Bindings, and until now I could have sworn it was mapped to "M" but I think I was imagining things.

It's SHIFT-B, as per The Manual

That's what I thought, too. That works in Track view for me, but not Console view.

Arghh, my bad for not reading your post thoroughly. Sorry for the duff answer. I'll let it stand so that future generations can assess my work.

Yeah, I don't know of any way to map Console view changes to a keystroke.

Rarely use the console view but if I were looking for a keyboard binding and could not find it in

I'd probably create my own if the function were exposed in

In this case the function is called "Strips | Buses" in the Console View area

Thanks for the pointer. I looked at trying to make a key binding to show/hide the Bus pane in Console view but didn’t know what the function was called that I was looking to create a KB shortcut for.  I’ll give another look.

Perfect! Found Strips | Buses in the Console view of Functions drop-down of Keyboards Shortcut and assigned it to CTRL-B.  Just learning how to work with key bindings, and I didn't know what the function was called I was trying to create a KB shortcut for. Now, SHIFT-B shows/hides buses in Track View and CTRL-B shows/hides in Track View.  Really a time saver for me when mixing.  Here's a graphic for those who might want to do this. Thanks so much!
