This setting controls what happens to Pro Tools when you stop and then restart playback. ![]() In Command Focus N toggles ‘Playback Follows Insertion Point’. The inappropriately positioned ’N’ keystroke. The second reason is that it is a useful way around one of the most common reasons why novice or occasional Pro Tools users get frustrated with it. The ID letter for the ALL group is “!”, or in my mental map “Shift+1”. This is very straightforward, an important thing to be aware of is how to toggle the ALL group, which is created by default. When Groups List Keyboard Focus is enabled you can toggle groups on and off by hitting their ID letter on the keyboard. On creation each group has a unique ID letter. This is incredibly handy if you use a lot of Mix and Edit Groups. This is useful and goes some way to mitigating my regular moans about Pro Tools not offering folders in the clips list. This allows the user to jump straight to a particular clip in the list by typing its name. You’ll probably have noticed the reference to a Clips List Keyboard Focus. Groups List Keyboard Focus - CMD+Opt+2 (Control+Alt+2 on a PC)Ĭlips List Keyboard Focus - CMD+Opt+3 (Control+Alt+3 on a PC) The slow way is to click on the little a-z symbols in the edit window but to change these settings from the keyboard use the following keystrokes:Ĭommand Focus - CMD+Opt+1 (Control+Alt+1 on a PC) The others are Groups List Keyboard Focus and Clips List Keyboard Focus. Command Focus is only one of those three uses single keystrokes can be put to. If you want to toggle tab to transients on and off just hit CMD+Opt+Tab (Control+Alt+Tab on a PC).įor exactly the same reasons you are free to change between any of the three Keyboard Focus modes in the Edit window at any time. If you didn’t know it tabs to the next clip boundary. Usually by people who weren’t aware of what the Tab key does when it’s not tabbing to transients. ![]() In the past I’ve been asked why you would want to turn Tab To Transients off. As we’ll discuss there are some useful reasons to change this setting and as it is very quick to change it back, why wouldn’t you? I see this as very similar to Tab to Transients - an extremely useful feature of Pro Tools. The first reason is that it isn’t an either/or choice. So why would you want to turn them off? Here are three reasons: You Can Turn Them Back On So Easily These single keystrokes are very fast and very convenient. I can use Command + square brackets or the Command Focus alternatives R and T. The same goes for actions like zooming in and out. For example if I want to cut a region at the cursor, or in Pro Tools speak ‘Separate a Clip At Selection’ I can use Command+E or the single keystroke alternative from the Command Focus shortcuts ‘B’. ![]() So there are (at least) two ways of doing most things in Pro Tools. Pro Tools has two sets of keyboard shortcuts, the standard set which combine a combination of modifier keys and standard keys to provide shortcuts to Pro Tools functions, and Command Focus which is the name of a second set of editing shortcuts which use single keystrokes.
