Macintosh Key Shortcut in DP

Noizemaker · Post by **Noizemaker** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 12:49 pm

Is there a way to get in any of DP's Popup menus directly with the Macintosh Keyboard. With "TAB" you can get through the numerical values boxes but I don't like to have to leave the keyboard and reach to mouse to change something in a Popup Menu

Popup menus are a pain. Not only is it a drag to use the mouse when playing the keyboard, it's tedious when doing an audio mix when one wants to toggle among the Volume, Pan, etc., in the Sequence Editor. Not a big problem for one track, but 24+ tracks gets annoyingly repetitive.

Change Velocity, for example, is easy enough to get to with a key stroke, but getting to Change Velocity > Scale or Change Velocity > Limit is not unless the mouse is used anyway, and by then what's the use?

DP really needs to have ALL of its popup menu windows available in the key commands window-- or allow somehow for the user to add the desired feature itself and not just the command.

Some people have used Quick Keys....

Alright
I was hoping to have good news but I guess I don't. What's the quickKeys deal? How does it works?

.

i always wished they would implement a right click anywhere on the track to do that.
