Default Brilliant shortcuts

Hi all,

I, as I'm sure most of you are, am always on the look out for new keyboard shortcuts to speed up my workflow. Recently I've discovered a couple of absolute gems: Ctrl+/ creates a new playlist on the selected track, brilliant when you're working with singers and bands who like to move quickly. And by complete accident the other day I Ctrl+L-Clicked on a plug-in and it bypassed all the plug-ins for that channel!! Amazing, can't believe I didn't know about that. Once you start added other modifier keys, things really start to heat up :-P

Peace

I think Ctrl + L Click bypass the plug-in and the ones that are under it. For example: if you ctrl + click on the first insert it bypass all, if you ctrl + click in the third one it bypass the third, fourth... But not first and second, which is even better.
It's possible that works with sends too (right now i don't remember)

Ah I see. I didn't test it too much! Good knowledge.

If anyone else has any obscure shortcuts then do share.
