Default Better key command for suspend all groups?

Hi all,

I frequently use the command "suspend all groups" but shift-command-g doesn't exactly fly off the fingertips. Does anyone know an alternate command for this? Maybe use hot keys?

Keyboard Maestro would let you do something simpler. But if you find yourself doing this with certain groups, change key command focus to the group window and your letter keys will turn groups on and off.

I myself find it intuitive, but opinions do vary

"Shift-command" is used all over the place, so you'd better get used to it.

The only thing easier is have a control surface button....

If you need to suspend groups in order to move any parameter on it's own.... why not just do exactly the same move you would normally make but.... use "right click" instead of "left click" i.e, the right mouse button instead of the left one. I find that easier. If I understand the question correctly that is.

Yep.

But command-shifting isn't too bad as I usually have two fingers placed close to them anyway. I type with 10 fingers, so even when I use the mouse I have my left hand on keyboard.

I actually never used "suspend all groups", but pressing ctrl lets me adjust faders at least, overriding the group enable. That's on mac, PT10.
