How do I get rid of the Y shortcut?
I accidentally press Y when I want to zoom in with r maybe ten times a day.
The result is that what I was editing gets moved to the start of my session. Usually not where i want it to be... How do I disable the key as a shortcut, but retain it when typing names on regions and tracks? Any ideas? ps. I know of 1-5 shorcuts to zoom. Please don´t tell me to use those instead. They never fit how much I want to magnify. Neither do I like e "zoom to region".

You can't. You'll just have to get better at pressing T.

FWIW, you can customize what zoom level 1-5 does.

dmazurek:
It was better with the old keyboard. I was more precise when the keys were more elevated. I guess I´m getting old, preferring the olden ways... laki: I didn´t know, but I never know precisely how much I zoom in, so having a pre set level isn´t really working for me. I know the Mac OS has some features for reassigning keys, and Iwas hoping someone had figured out how to achieve what I need with that.

But you have 5 preset levels. Start close and go closer... ;-)

Re: How do I get rid of the Y shortcut?
I have no idea if this will work on the Y key - but I have successfully replaced existent Pro Tools shortcuts - but only a couple times - when I've added my own shortcuts with the Mac/System Prefs/Add shortcuts method.
So I suppose you could try adding a shortcut for that key that didn't interrupt your workflow, (no dialogue box or action required on your part).

Re: How do I get rid of the Y shortcut?
You could also go seriously old skool, and disable the a-z key, so that no single key edits or functions will work. At that point, you can use the ol' Command [ ] keys to zoom.
Party like it's OS 8 baby! S..

Use QuicKeys and remap the Y key (you'll need to disable the macro when you want to type a Y)

I never use R-T anymore. Scroll wheel zooming all the way.
I use a magic mouse and its very easy to zoom both timeline and waveform quick. Just press alt/option and scroll... If you dont have a magic mouse add shift to zoom the waveform.. |

I doubt it would work, cause adding shortcuts to OS requires using at least one modifier.
