Default Changing track view size

I know there's a simple way to do this, but I can't find it. Sometimes when working with a session I'll enlarge certain tracks, sometimes several of them at a time. Isn't there an easy to way to change the view size of all tracks or a group of tracks all at the same time instead of one at a time? I'm certain I saw this on some video or other, but I can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks

Default Re: Changing track view size

Hold down option (Mac) or alt (Windows) while clicking on the track view size drop-down.

Those keys are shortcuts for 'apply to all tracks'.

Add 'shift' in there to apply it only to selected tracks.

More can be found in the Keyboard Shortcuts Guide under the Help menu in Pro Tools.

Hi! I belive you want to hold down the alt key (option key for Mac I think) and then select your track size. That should apply your selection to all of the tracks. The alt/option key is a general "all" key for a lot of other functions as well. You can also use it to bring all of your faders to unity at the same time for example.

You can also use it across only the tracks you've selected by selecting the tracks you want to affect, then holding shift+atl/option and making your track height selection.

Thanks guys...that was it. The ALT key. I just couldn't recall what it was and wasn't looking up the right phrase in the manual.
