FX on/off key command

Did they change it? I think it used to be "E" to toggle global effects on and off.

Anyone know?

Thanks

It's Ctl-Y here.

I seem to recall that it did change once, but that was years ago. I remember that because I spent a day putting a bunch of them back to where they used to be.

I looked through the keyboard shortcuts and did not find it. I know it was "E" because of how often I hit it on accident and spew a choice expletive. Now that it appears to be gone - I don't want to unlearn how to not do something I spent so much time not learning very well in the first place.  ?

 

Found the answer here though:

Behavior changes

Add Track menu behavior change:

The behavior of the Track(s) counter has changed when inserting a multi-timbral soft synth via the Add Track menu. When Instrument Track Per Output or Split Instrument Track is selected, the Track(s) counter now specifies how many Instrument output tracks to create instead of how many unique instances of the synth to create.

Changes to Delete Track:

CTRL+DELETE deletes tracks.

Delete Track only deletes the focused track if the focused track is not also selected.

When a combination of tracks and track folders are selected, the context menu displays Delete Selected Tracks and Folders.

You can reassign it. They changed it because many people complained.

I think the better fix for this ( at least in the console view ) would be to exchange the pre-post fader switch to the effect bypass switch. Setting up pre or post fade is a very purposeful use that doesn't need a quick glance IMO. But Effect bypass should be readily visible. and easily automated.
