Pro Tools 7.4, shortcuts change

Oroz · 18th December 2007, 10:21 PM

What's up with all these shorcuts changes? I just started to work with 7.4 and I'm noticing some shortcuts changes, simple things like closing a session (wasn't it just Apple + W before? Now it's something like Shift + Apple + W

) and making tracks thinner on the mix window (I actually haven't found that one yet) plus a few others. I'm so use to the older shortcuts that it's a bit annoying to learn new shortcuts

. Anybody had the same problem when making the transition to 7.4?

Haven't upgraded to 7.4 yet, but it's always been apple+shift+w to close sessions.

The command for closing a session has been the same for as long as I remember. Apple+W will just close a window.

Option+Apple+M will resize the track channels in the mix window.

neither of those have changed. Command Shift W has been close session and Command Option M is narrow mix window.

Thanks for your replies guys, I could have swore that Apple + W was the shortcut for closing sessions. Sorry about that

One more thing. Get the nomenclature correct.
It's not Apple + Shift + W.
It's Command + Shift + W.
Command.

And the reason I stress this is that in the next generation of Apple keyboards, the Apple logo is rumored to be gone on the Command key.
