Keyboard shortcut for show/hide regions list ?
I really read T-F-M thorrowly, even the "Pro Tools Shortcuts" PDF... but can it be there is NO Keyboard shortcut for showing / hiding the regions list ?
I came across hundreds of shortcuts in that pdf for things you might need once a year or perhaps never in your life... but I open & close (or show/hide) the regions list like 50 times a day... Isn't there a simple keyboard combination one can type ...rather than having to aim at the tiny little triangle to access the menu every time... ? (I'm on PT 8.1, but probably no big changes to PT 9 reg. this...?) Thanks

Use Window Configurations. I usually have only three:

Re: Keyboard shortcut for show/hide regions list ?
...well to be honest I was hoping for a single key or similar...
(but thank you for the idea anyways !) I use Window Config's too ... although I never understood why PT makes it so annoying and complicated with all these "." and "*" to type in between.. In Logic you just type a number (e.g. from 1-6 ...for 6 different config's) and **bang** there's the window. MUCH faster and convenient... Why use shortcuts when you have look down to find 3 (!) keys first until you get what you want (and need 500 x per day...) ?? Also it seems like PT doesn't offer user definable keyboard shortcuts (which is ALSO no prob in logic, almost ANY function can be customized easily...even distinguishing between key and position of the key on the keyboard (!) e.g. when using the keypad...)

Unfortunately window configs is the only way to get at it. Yes, user definable keyboard shortcuts would be nice - though you could easily change anything you want with Quickeys. There are a few things Logic handles elegantly, but thank god Pro Tools doesn't work more like Logic in most ways... ;-) best, rich

Re: Keyboard shortcut for show/hide regions list ?
...using the system pref's in Mac seems like a good thing... I will check that deeper tomorrow... looks like a whole universe of new possibilities (also for other apps too...). Interesting. Thanks for the link to the thread !!
And talking of Logic vs ProTools ... YES, you are absolutely right. Automations for instance... a nightmare in Logic compared to PT. Basically I just hope both kind of stick to their area of expertise.... and ProTools doesn't try to be the better midi-sequencer or "instrument" ... which logic still is by far reg. instruments and midi-handling etc.... but logic will never be as professional as a recording, editing and mixing tool in a way like PT. And logic is for music only, no tool for postproduction etc... yes, I agree totally. Not to speak ofthe SOUND, especially when mixing in the box, summing up digitally, elastic audio etc.... no comparison... but I guess I am going a little off topic here
