Perhaps go through the learning curve with a project where the deadline isn’t too pressing. There is a ‘pain barrier’ to go through to get the Keyboard Focus shortcuts into your way of working but rest assured it will be worth it. You may find it helpful to have at least sight of a qwerty keyboard as you read this as the commands are grouped together in areas of the keyboard to make them as intuitive as possible.Īlternatively if you like what you see here you may want to buy a Pro Tools keyboard with the shortcuts on it or alternatively a sticker set to go on your existing keyboard… Good news for those who work with both Windows and Mac based systems that unlike some other shortcuts the Keyboard Focus shortcuts are the same for both Mac and Windows systems.
These are available to use on all Windows and Mac based Pro Tools systems. The Keyboard Focus commands are a real step forward for single-key operations when the focus mode in the Edit window is selected by clicking on the a-z button at the top of the Edit window vertical scroll bar. Following on from our Ninja post about using the keyboard shortcuts here is a post on how to use the Command Focus keyboard shortcuts.
