metronome toggle hot key?

[Michael Fogarty]

Hi. Working on hour long soundscapes. I turn the metronome on and off multiple times and would prefer to not have to hunt for the buss and mute/unmute. Can I set up a hotkey to do that?

Edit - I got a confused emoji below. Am I not clear? I want to be able to toggle the metronome off and on with a keyboard key instead of having to mute and unmute the metronome buss.

Just assign keyboard shortcuts for Metronome during playback and Metronome during recording. I've used these custom shortcuts for 15 years and they've become integral part of my daily workflow.

Also if you add keyboard shortcuts for "go to beginning of selection" and "go to end of selection", you will soon navigate faster than ever in the timeline.

My setup:

• F5 = Toggle metronome / Playback
• F6 = Toggle metronome / Record
• F7 = Go to beginning of selection
• F8 = Go to end of selection

I love you Panu. (smiles.)
I have the go to's already covered. I saw that generate metronome in the shortcuts but guess it sounded too posh so I thought it was something else.  I was looking for metronome on/metronome
