Return to prior Selection

[carmichael]

Is there a way to return (re-select) the prior selection (I believe some software uses the backspace key for this) -- I often lose my place after carefully making the perfect selection? I've dug through all the keyboard shortcuts and can't find this.

Thanks!

Yes the Waveframe did this. It´s one of the biggest downsides of the way PT handles edit selections. Because there are no dedicated edit in and out markers there is also no undo to "unselect". A very cumbersome work-around is that you punch in a selection only memory locator. But imagine keeping track of all those hundreds of selections you make when working...
Again one good thing digi didn´t learn from AudioVision..

a few more workarounds.


1. you can separate the reigion that you have selected ( command E)
2. create a dummy midi track. Put it in "blocks". Make your selection in the MIDI track. Shift+Command+3 to consolidate selection. You can name it whatever you like as a marker.

I'd be so lost without these forums and kind people like yourselves.
