I'm looking for a shortcut (not HD) to bypass the group function

[cmbourget]

I'm looking for a shortcut (not HD) to bypass the group function, only for quick action. I'm not talking about cmd + shift + G (enable / disable group), but only keys to move a clip independently, even if it's grouped to the base. In my editing work, I use the groups in an essential way, but I often have to move a single clip without affecting the group.

It seems to me that I have already seen this shortcut, but I can no longer find it.

Not shure about clips in the edit window, but ctrl is the modifier key to override grouping in the mix window; fader, mute, solo and so on. Have you tried that?

On windows, holding the Windows key allows adjusting a single track without doing anything to the other tracks in the group. I'm sure there's a Mac command for the same(try the apple key)

Unfortunately, it's really for editing. Nothing seems to work for editing.

It does not seem. Curious. Does a Mac user have an answer?

Maybe a little longer than you were hoping for, but:

If you're showing the groups list in the edit window, you can cmnd+opt+3 to put keyboard focus on the groups list, then type the letter of the group ID to temporarily disable the group, perform your edit, then type the letter again to re-enable the group. cmnd+opt+1 will put focus back on edit commands.

Thanks, but I'm really looking for something direct and live. I think it's a lack.

Ctrl+Shift+G is all I know. Works like a charm.

Yes, this is to untie the group. I am using it. I am looking for a key (or 2 ...) to hold to act on a single element, even grouped.

To the best of my knowledge, there are no shortcuts for either platform(Mac or PC) that do not exist on the other, so....2 things to try:
#1- enable keyboard focus(the little A-Z in the upper right corner of the EDIT window). It will be yellow to show its enabled.
#2-While in GRID mode, try each of the 3 modifier keys while you try to (with the mouse) click anywhere that is NOT on a grid line(if you set the grid value to a full bar, this will be easier to figure out which modifier toggles GRID off when held).

Fingers crossed If no single modifier key works, try combinations of 2 at a time, or Shift+modifier
