Wireless Keyboard

[Aaron Guidry]

Hello!

I frequently use a keyboard shortcut with the numeric pad to jump to a specific measure not flagged with a marker. ("Period-Number-Enter" is the shortcut).

On a wireless keyboard, there is not a numeric pad. Is it possible to still use this shortcut somehow on a wireless keyboard? I'm thinking of getting one, but since I use this shortcut so much, this could be a deal-breaker!

Thanks!

You might be able to do it with the fn key plus letters. The old keyboards used to be labeled with the fn functions/characters. I do not remember what letters correspond to the numbers in the keyboard. OTT, there are third party wireless/bluetooth keyboards with numeric keypads that might be a better choice.

...or get a wireless keyboard that has the numeric keys. Logitech makes a fantastic keyboard that also uses room light to recharge the batteries and feels great. Worth every penny.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Until you get a wireless keyboard w/number pad try "Command T" that will highlight
the measure number and then you can tab thru the beats and pulse per quarter notes.

You can edit your commands to have a different key-combo highlight the measure number.

Batteries are so 20th century.

There are a few wireless keypads that can be connected to the Mac keyboard, or used separately. Here's one that has been around for a few years

This one is cheaper.

I love the look of this! I wanted to get it after I saw your post.. but alas, the solar panels would be covered up completely by my console (I have my keyboard shelf underneath it).

As do I. Fortunately IKEA sells a very slim LED (it even changes colors, flashes them, or goes thru them with a gradient effect). Fits nicely under the shelf and helps seeing in dark setting w/o affecting the surrounding areas (screens). Very cool. $50.

Oh, and it charges the panel way over what is needed, and yes, that's DP in use.
