Anybody know how to change automation modes on all tracks simultaneously?

Re: Automation modes
The short answer: hold down W and change automation mode in one track. They'll all change.
If they don't, then you need the long answer:
• Open the Groups window in the sidebar of Consolidated Windows.
• Double Click in the default Group, on the line that says something like "Edit & Mix" at the right hand side. A dialog box will come up.
• Click on all aspects that you want to operate in groups when you use the quick-group command (holding down the W key) Be sure that Automation options are checked.
• Close dialog.
• Now go back to the short answer.
Explanation: W groups all visible tracks (including those that are scrolled offscreen) for performing operations on multiple tracks. Alternatively, you can select the tracks you want to group and hold down T to group selected tracks. You can tap either key twice and it will "stick" while you work, until you hit either key again.

Re: Automation modes
Haven't tried with other automation modes, but I know that pressing the Option key while selecting Volume on one track will change all tracks.
Hey Sooshie, others, do you know if there is a keyboard shortcut for this, so we could avoid the mouse completely? I couldn't find one in the list.
