Tool selection command flakiness

ironchef_marc · Post by **ironchef_marc** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 9:10 am

I've got a command for selecting point, i-beam, pencil tools.
Am I the only one to experience flakiness with that?
Like I have to press the key 3-4 time.
I tried with different keys same thing.

Are you using the DP Commands window? The tools are already setup there, so if you're duplicating that, it could be confusing the app. Tap and hold the assigned key for the tool on a temporary basis and double tap to make the tool sticky.

p for pencil, i for ibeam, etc. Works just fine for me and I know it is also working fine for a few others who have mentioned this. Shooshie is well versed in this stuff (as in all things DP & MOTU & music & performance/production).

I changed the defaults and there are no conflicts so don't why I have flakiness with it

Maybe try the defaults again?

are you tapping the key twice, versus holding it to temporarily change to the selected tool?

In Preferences and Settings
Editing / Continuous Data
I set bottom Continuous Data Icons
to 11 Expression
I save my template. I re-open it's there. I open an existing file. It's not there. I re-open my template it's not there.

Hmmm, maybe it's time to trash my preferences

I thought we were talking about tools?

No flakiness

Kind of broad, dont'cha think? Like having a topic that says BUGS. Good luck finding a solution in that thread.

Yeah, what Bayswater said.

Holding the key down switches to the tool temporarily.
Tapping it twice selects the tool until you select another.

If that isn't the problem, I really don't know.

Man I didn't even know that! Double tap to switch one tap and hold for quick access.
Thanks!
