want to create a custom KB shortcut for scroll on/off, macro keyboard?
Hi, PT is world's only daw (true) without a hotkey to disable page scrolling and vice versa, but even worse, it can not be done during playback (again unlike all other DAWs in existence).
In Mac, i created a shortcut to enable, powerclaw spacebar, very easily, then powerclaw N to disable it. Yes, playback has to be stopped, but it's SO much faster than navigating to the menu every time.. and i do it *alot*. Apparently there are some gurus here with making windows shortcuts.. Now, i have investigated the app that can do it and i just can't understand it. I am trying to learn it before my new windows machine arrives... I just honestly do not get it. I will admit I am completely dumb on this matter.. Is there any chance someone could walk me through creating that shortcut when my win machine comes? It's due in a week, which is why I am trying to set up something now, to give advance notice. I am absolutely happy to pay for your time.your normal studio rate for whatever time we spend... and once i have learned, at least I will understand how to create further ones. Skype is fine, or whatsapp. I am also buying a gaming keyboard as i wanted something with illumination where i can pick the colour myself, and it has a whole bunch of extra keys for "macros". Does anyone know (why i haven't chosen one yet), if any of these keyboard macro keys can be programmed to access certain menu functions of a specific app? Thanks so much in advance! |

Good news for you.
2018.7 allows changing scrolling while the transport is active. Autohotkey is probably the best to use for Windows. If I get time, I'll look to set it up (but on my Mac all day today) |

My suggestion is to make this specific custom shortcut behave as a toggle. Instead of two separate shortcuts, it will just be one that will toggle between "No Scrolling" and "Page". If there's interest in this, I'll give you a hand. Shane |

Thanks Shan.. auto hot key sounds like the answer..
unfortunately, I can not come to grips with using it.. My dell order has been cancelled, it's a long story in the other topic.. so what i will do if it's ok with you, is contact you when whatever windows machine I buy is in front of me, with PT and Autohotkey installed. Does that work for you mate? Cheers and thanks again.. it is extremely appreciated. |

Problem is they all use 2 usb ports which is a bother.. especially if i buy something like an AIO where USB is at a premium.. from all the research i have done it has been advised NOT to use a kb and mouse on a usb hub.. but maybe for pro tools/cubase that will be fine, just not gaming... |
