Default Edit grid triplet/dotted key commands.
To change the grid in the Edit window or MIDI Editor to triplets or dotted notes means selecting via the Grid drop down menu. It gets a bit tiresome or at least it did.

There are "secret" key commands not documented in the PT Shortcuts Guide as far as I can see.

On the Mac...

[Control]+[Option]+[Command] and [-] on the numerical keypad = Triplet Grid
[Control]+[Option]+[Command] and [+] on the numerical keypad = Dotted Grid

Dunno about the PC sorry.

That is weird.... I assigned those key commands to softeys on my S6 the other day and they worked fine. I'll check again in the morning.

Stig. They're not in the Shortcut Guide for some reason so they're easy to miss. I stumbled across them by accdient!!!

No it was there before 11!!!!

All I can think of is you have default Mac OSX keyboard commands conflicting? Might be with having a quick look in OSX System Preferences>Keyboard>Shortcuts?

...And it only works with the plus and minus keys to the right of the numerical keyboard.

I use Ctrl+Alt+plus/minus and Alt+Cmd+plus/minus all the time to adjust grid and nudge values, so this is just great.

Thanks again.

Fantastic tip! Was just about to make a custom shortcut. Now I don't have to!
