as it is called "<" key

[imstre]

I want to replace it with another key "<" 

i don't know what the action is, I don't find it  in keyboard shortcuts.

Thanks

Keyboard shortcuts don't use the character that pressing a key shows, instead they use the actual keyboard code sent from the keyboard itself. 

Keyboards designed for different countries may result in different codes than the ones you might expect.  For example, UK keyboards while close to US keyboards, give different results on certain keys.

The only sure way to find a particular key is to use the "Locate Key" button on the keyboard shortcuts screen and press the key you want to map.

Search through it for "arrow"

Thanks, I search ( Select current track-COMMA(,)  but no in preferences keyboard shortcut

Rather than search, use the Locate Key button to launch the key finder (if you're not doing that already).  The "Search" box searches the descriptions, not the keys.

HI:)

"<" and ">" never worked for me with German Keyboard and Shortcuts in Cakewalk!

How would we know he's using German version? 

[Heinz Hupfer]

Hi:)

He can test it! Just write Alt+60 and Alt +62 and see if it is "<" and ">". Alt+65 should be an "A".

In math(s), the 'less than' symbol.

I use a normal English keyboard (United Sates) the symbol is ( , ) he changes focus from a clip in the track  and I want to change to ( ~ )

it would be convenient for me but I do not find in keyboard shortcut

Hi:)

The "~" is only availabe with the AltGr(Ctrl+Alt(Menu)) Key right beside the space key. Alt+126.

Same Key as + and * on my Keyboard. 

Not possible to use it in Shortcuts here in Germany!

Ah! Now I'm  less confused, I think. So is that "I < confused"? or "Confused < I"?! 

 

Both "~" and "<" require the shift key.

In preferences...

"~" (shift+~) not assigned

"<" (shift+<) assigned to Start/Stop Rewind

"," not assigned but seems to toggle track selection on & off

Not sure how you're toggling between track and clip here but it looks like there is no function listed for that.

FWIW they do list Move Input Focus to Track Pane & Move Input Focus to Bus Pane, but they must both be assigned for them to work.
