Custom Key Commands - broken?
Pro Tools is very limited and restricted regarding Key Commands (Keyboard Shortcuts) compared to other apps like Logic Pro X or Final Cut Pro X.
I saw posts that show that it is possible to use the OSX System Preferences to assign custom Shortcut to Pro Tools. I use that feature with other apps and it works, but not with tPro Tools Better Touch Tool also provides such a feature, but again it doesn't work with PT 12.6. Is that functionality removed/broken or do I miss something here?

Re: Custom Key Commands - broken?
I use USB Overdrive on Sierra OS with my Logitech pc keyboard but on a MAC but I'm running 12.5.2 My main shortcut is the context key switches the edit and mix window for me. I grew to appreciate much of Pro Tools default shortcuts. It's easier to remember them.

Re: Custom Key Commands - broken?
Which menu commands are you referring to? As far as I know, they custom Mac Menu Keyboard Shortcut system is working fine. There are some commands which are not supported well under this system, (the new playlist commands, commands which have a default keyboard binding that include a number from the number pad)

You can work on your machine and customize the Key Commands the strangest way. When someone comes into your studio to work on your computer, you just load the default Key Command Preset, and everything is fine. Even in a big for rent facility. You can load the default Key Command Preset and you are familiar like any other guy, or you can bring your crazy Key Command Preset on a USB stick , load it up and be as fast as you can or used to. Unfortunately, Avid never understood the concept that not every user works the same and won't allow any modification of the Key Commands. Maybe they have an agreement with those companies that sell those colorful keyboards with the printed Key Command labels. If everybody uses their own set, then I guess they are out of business.

Now, I some commands (i.e. Window ➤ Color Palette) work, but most of the others don't. The OSX System Preferences Key Command configuration now works. The active (non-functional) BTT commands did block it.

Unfortunately, those highly opposed with that age old justification just don't "get it"...even when the obvious solution is clearly demonstrated. Shane

[QUOTE=john1192;2387588]imho, pro tools is something YOU learn .. so that everyone learns the same way .. Apple Products and other DAW's have Key Commands you can adjust .. You can still load the default commands and save the custom set.
