MacBook keyboard shortcuts
Hi All,
Anyone know how to 'nudge' a region on a MacBook keyboard without the extended numerical keypad? Also how to create a new marker without the 'enter' on the extended numerical keyboard? Is there a searchable database for MacBook PT keyboard shortcuts? Thanks! Judith |

Re: MacBook keyboard shortcuts
Function [fn] + F6 [num lock] will turn your keyboard into a num pad. Just remember to turn it off again.

Have you considered USB number pad? They are cheap as chips and, with a USB extender, give you ghetto remote control of PT. I bought stickers to label it. Now I'm thinking of a bluetooth wireless number pad. Cool.

Re: MacBook keyboard shortcuts
I have a USB numberic keypad and never thought to use it. duh....... Instead I've been hauling around a full keyboard. I've broken one putting into bags when I go to studios. Thanks so much for the suggestion. That's exactly what I'll do!

Re: MacBook keyboard shortcuts
Some external 10 key pads don't work with modifier keys like COMMAND, ALT, etc...
So if you want to change your nudge value with ALT-COMMAND - or + on the keypad you are out of luck. I bought one at Radio Shack and found it didn't work. They took it back thankfully. I'm not an account so it had little use otherwise. Jt

Re: MacBook keyboard shortcuts
get into keyboard focus then you can use the , comma and . period for nudge back and forth.

Re: MacBook keyboard shortcuts
The little a...z button on the toolbar in the upper left, just above the timecode/measures rulers. Click that one and you can do many commands with single keys. It's great, trust me. I often do 100 edits at a time and never grab the mouse. (cutting voiceovers into small regions, getting rid of mistakes, etc...)

Re: MacBook keyboard shortcuts
Hi, gang.
I'm new to the laptop world with PT. One of my favorite commands was to hit "=" on the right-hand number pad to call up a timecode number to locate & go to. It's also handy for de-selecting regions or selections and have playback continue, rather than stop or loop at the end of the selection. (I hit "=", then "Enter".) I also would like to know how to get the rewind and fast-forward functions without the aforementioned number pad. Perhaps, for future users, could someone post a good link for the keyboard shortcuts? It's evading me in my search on the digi site, for some reason. Great thread, guys. - James |
