shortcut key

[carllackey]

is there a keyboard shortcut to switch from file mode to action mode? without having to click their respective tabs?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "file mode" and "action mode"? What tabs are you referring to?

[carllackey]

let's say i'm dragging in a loop from the browser and then want go to the action panel. is there a shortcut besides moving the mouse to click on the action tab?

Yes, I have these personally set up as custom macros like so:

thanks!!!

[carllackey]

and how do you add macros?

[carllackey]

i watched the tutorial and i can't find the 3 actions that you had in your shortcuts. these are the very ones i was hunting for.

[dRowAudio]

There's a button in my screenshot called "Add a new macro". Then once it's added, double click the name ("Show Actions Browser" in my screenshot) to rename it.

Then you can simply type that text in. The tick in the bottom right should go green if it worked correctly.
If you right click the 'actions' text, you should see the other options such as 'files', 'search' etc.

thank you so much!

i'm doing everything you say. ive got show actions in the macro but i can'y figure out how you got the command below that. i'm not good with computers.

[carllackey]

i got the green tick, but after that i'm stumped! is there an easier way? or should i just give up until i can find somone more computer savy?

[carllackey]

It's very straight forward Carl. Click "Add a new macro", then double click the name and call it "Show action browser". Now click in the bottom panel and type the following code:

Code: Select all

Tracktion.showSidePanel ('actions');

Now select the new macro (Show action browser) in the keyboard shortcuts list under "Macros" and assign a keyboard shortcut by clicking the "+" symbol. Now the macro should run when you press the assigned keys. Repeat this for the files browser and search tab.
