Kyle Whitlock Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 Anyone else having issues with Key Bindings in Bandlab now? New problem here and didn't start until the last upgrade. Very wonky! Hardly anything is working correctly. Import and Export does not work properly either. Suggestions?

Kyle Whitlock Posted February 7, 2022 Author Posted February 7, 2022 Glad it's working for you Will! Still wonky here.. I have tried resetting key bindings many times. At first they work, later I hit a key combination and nothing happens or it does something completely different. I've never seen this issue in 25+ years of using Cakewalk.

Rickstudio2021 Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 I recently made a key binding that worked fine until I left Bandlab and restarted it. Then it seems to be gone.
Kyle Whitlock Posted February 13, 2022 Author Posted February 13, 2022 I'm hoping the next BL version will resolve this issue!! Fingers crossed
Will. Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 I've tested this a few time and sometimes it works other times not. Go into Preferences and Keyboard shortcuts. There's a little box named ENABLED (this was never off by default) tick it, Apply and hit OK. If this does not work (As in my case and probably because I have a guest account) go to VST settings and remove that %LocalAppData% path, go back into Preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts and tick ENABLE. APPLY and hit OK. Should then work. Again: this is how i got things to work normal again with this issue on my side.

Michal Ochedowski Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 On May 23rd I started a topic regarding the very same issue. No one replied. I'm also one of those Cakewalk users that experience random key unbinding.

Starship Krupa Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 Vanishing key bindings is usually the fault of loading a Workspace that clears/overwrites them. I recently did this myself while browsing the workspaces that come with Cakewalk. Fortunately, I had a backup of my bindings. The other issue is the UI freezing up for several seconds when opening the Preferences pane for Keyboard Shortcuts. As yet unresolved, but it's harmless other than being annoying.

Is there a way to disable overwriting of key bindings when switching Workspaces?

Oh snap, I just realized that I've mistaken Screensets for Workspaces. My bad. Until now I haven't used Workspaces even a single time. Thanks for the info though.

Workspaces are benign until someone with Cakewalk's UI set up just the way they want says "hmm, Workspaces, I wonder what Basic looks li....oh sacred schnit, what happened to my Control Bar layout, my custom keystrokes, half of the menu items...." And then switches back to "none," which is the number of custom key bindings, window layouts, and control bar settings that survived the last time I did it. Fortunately, I'm pretty into rejiggering Cakewalk's UI, which has made me diligent about backing up my custom key bindings, color sets, themes, etc.

APAMusic Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 The key bindings on my laptop started acting weird last week. None of my Ctrl shortcuts worked. That led me to this thread and a couple of hours troubleshooting. I know this is not the fix for most (if not all) of you but... It turned out BOTH of my Ctrl keys didn't work on my laptop. Note, this machine is only used for live tracking and I treat it well. It has never been dropped. etc. I figured it out when I went to test the ctrl key in a different program. Maybe a Windows update issue? Regardless, a $5 USB keyboard from the thrift store was my fix. Maybe this will help save someone a headache.
