Select current event to the end

[user6808463577169165]

Hi

In cubase  I use a shortcut(shift+double click) that selects current event to the last event and can move them.

 Is there a shortcut for this in cakewalk(I mean exactly that and do not use an event list or arranger track)??

I don't know if "Select through end" has a default key binding. But it can be custom bound to anything you want. I have selection range bound to the bracket keys. "From Now" and "Through Now" are bound to the open bracket and close bracket keys. And "From Start" and "Through End" are bound to Cntrl+ open bracket and Cntrl+ close bracket keys.

From time immemorial (I'm talking Cakewalk for DOS 2.0!) up until X1, the above shortcuts were bound by default to F9, F10, Ctrl+F9 and Ctrl+F10. I had grown so used to them that I had to restore the defaults and still use them regularly. I like the idea of using the bracket keys for this if you're not already used to something else - easy to reach and logical. By default they work like the +/- keys to increment/decrement values by larger amounts (e,g, by octaves in the key+ widget), but I would guess few people use this.

Yep, I member now. Those are Windows defaults if I am not mistaken. [After review I believe I am mistaken]

I changed to the above sometime after I realized that custom key bindings were possible.; for no other reason than that I could.

In Wave Lab. Shift/Home highlights from now time to start.  Shift/ End highlights to end.  
I find it odd that no other software I use figured this brilliant solution out.

Those are unused in CbB so you could custom bind that in Cakewalk.

[Shift+Home/Shift+End] Hmm. only way that works is if you Ctrl+A first. Does nothing on it's own.

I have CAL script that can do this.  Then I assign that CAL script to a keybinding.
