Default Re: Temporary Grid Mode when holding down Command in Pro Tools 12.6

it’s “COMMAND” “z”, “x”, “c”, or “v”.. in about every piece of software we use. But do that in ProTools, my selection automatically snaps to the grid right before I copy or delete - so I end up with upcuts or extra space - NOT what I selected, sometimes I don’t even realize it happened. So for me it means “undo” go back, do over. Time = wasted.

The reasoning is you don’t need to hit the “command” button in PT keyboard focus mode - you just hit the “x” or “c” - no modifier key needed. But muscle memory is strong - I have to be really conscious of NOT hitting “command”. Before there was no consequence if you did, now there is.

I’m mostly editing voiceover for radio promos and have no use for this new feature, when I want things to snap to the grid I hit “F4” and work in Grid mode.


Thanks for reading, hoping Avid would consider enabling us to turn off this feature.
