Split Clips - Can I set default to 'Split at Selection'?

[Sven]

I use Split Clips a lot to quickly edit clips, copy them, or whatever.  It defaults to Split At Time and I always change it to Split At Selection for each new Sonar session I start.  I've never needed to use it any other way.  Can I set Sonar to default to that setting?

I don't believe so but here is the autohotkey code to perform this action

  Click, ,Right
  Send, s
  WinWait, Split Clips
  Send, s{Space}{Enter}
  Return 

Add it to the default autohotkey script, binding it as desired.

Thanks I'll try that.

I've never had a need to use this function before:

"Add it to the default autohotkey script, binding it as desired."

Is this something you use often?

I have a few tasks loaded in the default script but for things like the request in the OP, I probably would not only because the extra mouse click does not bother me.

  I think the problem is that if you repeat the same steps to modify your DAW daily and have to do an extra step each time it can make you want to look for a short-cut to have 'your way' be the default.   Saves time with each session.

  I'm curious why people would want the default choice on Split at Selection instead of what I always change it to.

Thanks

It's only one mouse click per session.

To make the choice persist across sessions is a feature request.

Do most people like Split at Time for some reason I'm not aware of and is the way I always use it the exception?

I certainly use Split at Time - if I need to split at selection, I'll use the split tool and just drag the selection while the split tool is active  (i.e. ALT + drag across the clip with the smart tool).

If I need to split over all tracks, I'll normally just create an arranger section then right click->split at boundaries.
