Assign the "apply trimming" command to the control bar "Custom" module

[jimlynch22]

For some reason, the Apply Trimming command is not available to assign to a button on the control bar Custom module.  Would be a nice to have.

Looks like you can use a  keyboard shortcut for it, tho.

In case we can't find one in the mile long Commands list, request to alphabetize the list so finding it is easier.

Yep the number of commands is boggling and alphabetizing would be helpful.

I can't find "apply trimming" in keyboard customization.  Can you give me a clue where that is?

Preferences > Customization > Keyboard Shortcuts > Track View > Clips | Apply Trimming.

I just learned "Global" doesn't include everything so you have to select the View it may be in.

Bounce to Clips and Tracks are also omitted from the Custom Module list but are keyboard bindable.

Odd thing with that is Bounce to Clips shows up in both Global and Track View with slightly different wording with no assigned binding in the Global listing.

Thanks for showing me the way I was going blind.  There are so many weird things like this. I'm surprised it works as well as it does overall, as the product has been developed and developed over decades.

Of course "apply trimming" can be found by right clicking on a clip (and I believe when selecting multiple clips or even the selecting all clips thought i have not tried it lately).  I am so accustomed to doing that way, that I never thought about adding it to the custom module.  It would be interesting to know what the most common custom module figurations are.

Ones I use most are Fit Project to Window, Fit MIDI Content, Process Transpose, Process Gain, and Run CAL.

The most used command for me is Bounce to Clips which I bound to the U key.

(I just found Bounce to Clips and Tracks in the list so I edited my previous post.)

 

Besides adding missing commands to the list, (like Insert Soft synth) the 2 biggest improvements would be

1. Change Commands list wording to reflect actual menu wording.  Confusing when the two don't match.

Example:

Track View > View > Fit Project to Window seems to be the same as Custom Module > Commands > Resizes and zooms tracks to see entire project

(BTW, this one, and maybe others, is duplicated at the bottom of the Custom Module list.)

2. Alphabetize the list

3. Ad mouse wheel scrolling.  Click arrow is too slow.
