Copy-Paste Plug-In Settings Shortcut

Nothing to do with the red target button, it's a matter of which window is in focus, as Jack said....

Except one important fact: you need to turn the Realtime version’s red target button OFF - to stop the Realtime version disappearing when you launch the AudioSuite version

As you say, click on either version to bring it in focus – then apply Shortcut


What I find interesting is that this appears to be “standard practice” for you, Ben – whereas it seems “not possible/never been possible” for other long-time Mac users!

Not here. If I open a Audiosuite plugin window, my insert window stays open, even with red target button on.

And by that you mean?

In Windows, one must turn any plug-in’s red target button OFF, to prevent it disappearing when another plug-in is opened
One plug-in at a time, unless the red target button is OFF

Maybe some people don't know what they're talking about.

If they do know what they're talking about – here’s my “Grasping-at-Straws” Longshot:

(please excuse my total Mac ignorance!)

Could there possibly be anything (Macros?) in your Pro Tools and/or Mac Settings that would explain why the Shortcuts work for you – and not for other Mac users?

No. This is a standard PT keyboard shortcut. I can remember using it twenty years ago. I never heard of a way to shut it off.

Thanks for clarifying this!

Hope other Mac users chime in ...

Well blast my barnacles, it does work!


Thanks Ben, I dunno why I assumed it didn't?


I'll be using this a lot from now on...


Cheers

Yes I have always used this on Mac. Currently on 2020.12 and it works. Both ways, from Audiosuite to Real-time and vice versa.

On Mac it doesn't matter if the red target is on or not. Insert windows and Audiosuite windows co-exist and only close if another of the same type is open (with red target on).

Only problem I've had I think with every 2020 version is sometimes the first click on an insert window doesn't "focus" it. Never figured out why so I have to watch the window to make sure.
