Re: OSX hidden pref to make your own PT\'s QuickKeys!!
OK. What am I doing wrong?
Was able to create shortcuts as indicated. They appear in the Apple Keyboard Shortcuts window but DO NOT appear in ANY of the PT menus. And yes, I typed them exactly as they appear in PT. Any suggestions????? |

Re: OSX hidden pref to make your own PT\'s QuickKey
My shortcut suggestions, and the reason why. If any of these shortcuts are already assigned to something else within Pro Tools, post that I'm stupid.
"Bounce To Disk..." Option + Command + B. Easier than Control + Option + Command + B. "Hide Pro Tools" Control + Command + H . Same as Adobe Photoshop. "Hide Others" Option + Command + H . Same as Adobe Photoshop. "Save Session As..." Option + Command + S . So it is kind of like Bounce To Disk shortcut. "Preferences" Command + ; . Like Internet Explorer. My other suggestion is that menu items that open dialog boxes with global options, like Preferences, I/O Setup, Peripherals, Hardware Setup, Playback Engine, etc... should be assigned to Command + Function Keys. Items assigned to these keys should not be things like Change Tempo or Pre-Fader Monitoring or stuff like that. I think Control + F Keys and Option + F Keys are open as well, so we'll have to decide what those go to. I think we should also decide on what should open Audiosuite plug-ins. I don't know if Control - Command - NumPad Number Keys are assigned already. The assignment of which plug-in goes to which number is totally up to each user, I'm just saying we should close off any of those key combinations to other shortcuts so they are strictly used to open plug-ins. If I think of anything more, I'll post of course. I also think Digidesign should make this post a sticky in this forum, or once we've agreed on standard, just implement the list of shortcuts into Pro Tools itself. That would be fantastic! |

I think Digi already settled on a standard... It's called Icon. |

Re: OSX hidden pref to make your own PT\'s QuickKey
I have to agree, I don't think we want to force a particular way of customisation (kinda defeates the purpose of the word).
iKey can open audiosuite plugins.. And click on screen fuctions for you (ie: a tab to transient toggle on/off). It's much cheaper than Quickeys and is capable of so much more than just key commands for menu items. It's not flaky either!! (ala early QK for OSX, which might be better now - but I've moved on since then and don't care to look back). http://scriptsoftware.com/ikey/ |

Re: OSX hidden pref to make your own PT\'s QuickKey
Does anybody know if you can set it to toggle actual preferences on or off? For example, I'm constantly turning on and off "Machine follow Edit Insertion/Scrub" within the preferences. While having a quick key to get the preferences up would be very helpful, a quick key to toggle that preference would be heaven...

Re: OSX hidden pref to make your own PT\'s QuickKey
Anyone else having any strange problems after creating these custom key commands? Command Focus stops working occasionally, and I have to re-launch Pro Tools to get it back. Also, I just tried to select and delete one region, but after hitting the delete key, it deleted every region on that track. I think I'm going back to using the good old menu.

Re: OSX hidden pref to make your own PT\'s QuickKey
You could - it would fire up the preferences window, change the tab, click the toggle button and close the preferences. Same shortcut would be the toggle... It's free to try.
Its really just a GUI shortcut thing - it doesn't do anything hidden just what can be done with a mouse and keyboard... |

Re: OSX hidden pref to make your own PT\'s QuickKey
As far as the mysterious multi-region deleting across more tracks than selected, I have seen that bug come and go way before I started trying these quick keys.
But so far, I havent seen any odd activity yet. Ill keep checking tho. MT
