Thread: Hotkeys

The next Post has a start of the hot key list used by LSP.

Please post a reply as you find new ones or find errors in this list and I will edit the list accordingly.

Effect Shortcuts

Pressing the shortcut key will turn your cursor to that effect it will not put the effect in a cell.

0-9.....................Set the effect cursor to the corresponding tool in the recent tools list

CTRL-CLick on a cell with an effect sets the cursor to that effect.

Chases / Clipboard drawing

Select the effects to replicate, right-click, copy the effects. Shift-select to draw the copied pattern as a chase at the selected location.

Right-Click, Paste paste the copied area at the cell that was right-clicked on. Dont select an area to paste and the right click, you could paste at the wrong cell.

Mouse Wheel functions

ctrl-wheel...scale time with acceleration..similar to zoom on the playback ribbon
shift-wheel.scroll time with acceleration
wheel.........scroll channels with acceleration
z-wheel......scale channels.... similiar to scale on the playback ribbon

"S" key start intensity
"F" Key Finish intensity See post #4 for details

Audio Snap..... holding down ctl-shift with effect tools snaps to nearest audio beat/rhythm/energy point. See post #7 for example

CTRL Z...............Undo
CTRL C...............Copy
CTRL V...............Paste
CTRL X...............Cut

On the Fly Copy Paste

• select the region you want to copy or cut using the select tool and dragging over the region
• hold the ctrl(copy) or shift(cut) key down
• click and drag the selection to perform the desired operation
• when you have moved it to the desired location, release the mouse button
• the effects are copied/moved to the new location

Multiple Select Sequences in the Scheduler

• Hold the <CTRL> while you select a sequence and it will be added to the selection list for sequences to be added to the show you are building.
• or Hold the <SHIFT> While you select and all selection between the first and last select will be added to the selection list for sequences to be added to the show you are building.

Thanks mike! i was just getting ready to ask about these again as i find myself hovering the mouse over an effect on the ribbon because sometimes it is easier to use the function hot keys instead of going to the ribbon all the time and reelecting.

First Post Updated to reflect

"S" key start intensity
"F" Key FInish intensity

You can adjust the intensity of the effects created by this tool by selecting the desired cells with the select tool, then selecting properties from the right-click menu.
Alternatively, you can select the cells. then, while holding down the "S"-Key (for start intensity) or the "F"-Key (for finish intensity) spin the mouse wheel to adjust the correlating intensity.

Keys 0-9 will change the effect cursor to the corresponding recent tool in the recent tools list.

CTRL Click on cell with an effect sets the cursor to that effect.

ctrl-wheel to scale time w/acceleration
shift-wheel to scroll time w/acceleration
wheel to scroll channels w/acceleration
z-wheel to scale channels



Audio Snap
holding down ctl-shift with effect tools snaps to nearest audio beat/rhythm/energy point.

Example:
if you select the ramp tool.
then before you start to draw your ramp, hold down the ctrl-shift you will see a yellow bar in the audio area, this snaps to the audio beats/rhythms.
when you click and draw the ramp, note the position of the yellow bar when you click and release, at these locations it will create intervals making the ramp the exact length that you indicated.

Select the effects to replicate, right-click, copy the effects. Shift-select to draw the copied pattern as a chase at the selected location

I think having these keys are great, except I think there should be an option that would allow me to add the effect without using some other key.

In other words if I am in a call and press Shift L then it would change to "On".

I also think another option of the program would allow me to set function keys for a purpose. again if I set F3 to on, then a single press of F3 would turn on the cell the cursor is in.

And finally if I select a cell pressing CTRL X should cut the effect.

Hmmm ...If I select a cell or range of cells CTRL X does cut the effect(s). (at least for me)

I guess I need to play with this a bit more.

If I select 4 cells, then press the ctrl-x it only deletes the first 3.

I would also expect having the ability to move from any cell to any adjacent cell with up/down left/right keys. I think esc whould always take me back to select mode.

Hopefully I am not being too critical.
