I recently posted this in another thread, maybe it is useful for other people, too.
I wrote a little one-page HTML app that can display all key shortcuts with the mapped cubase commands in a nice overview, for display in a browser or printing. Excel export is also available for those who want to format differently.
There is also a HTML app for Cubase Generic Remotes.

Sadly it is only possible to display the English command names as I don’t have access to the translations...

Github is incomprehensible to we mere mortals.

Ok, I will elaborate...

The link you provided was to a github repo.
Your git repo contains html source code. We humans have trouble reading/interpreting it.

Maybe I did not look thoroughly (using mobile phone) but I did not see a link to a page a browser can render, just the source. So whoever wants to see the page as intended has to clone the repo and point the browser to that.

Up to the rescue comes GitHub Pages. Any branch called "gh_pages" containing an index.html in the root will be served at http:[project].github.io
Usually it's a detached branch, containing just documentation for a project's static html site.

Google it.

Or did I miss something blatently obvious? Or should you have given another link with not the source but the rendered page?

Haha! My point proved.

I added instructions. Sometimes I forget that not everyone is a long time Linux/Unix sysadmin

That being said, git/github can be really useful fore “mere mortals”, too!

Wtf instructions... You really don't get it, do you?

Your approach defeats the whole purpose of the internet! Just publish it on a cloud server. It already is in the cloud but in the wrong place.

So close, what a pity...

Could you be more of a dick? I thought I’d shared something that I initially developed just for myself, but could be helpful for others and the only thing you do is bitch.
I’m sorry that writing instructions was the only thing I could do yesterday while I was lying sick in bed with just an iPad.

Btw, no one over at the Steinberg forum had problems with it... but no one forces you to use it.

Thank you for not being part of the whiny KVR entitlement bunch

Much appreciated!

First off, I'm terribly sorry about how my remarks came across. My intention was not to be a dick but sincerely to help you. I'll attribute it to you not feeling too well, but I said nothing about missing instructions. I would have understood it perfectly if you said something alike: "thanks for the hint, will look into it further when I feel like it."

But to me your reaction came across as if I directed you to the railway station heading north, and you carried along walking south. So I had another idea of which one of us was called Richard.

I was merely hinting you that you're just a few mouse clicks away from having those useful pages properly hosted on github, so anyone that wants to use them can just click on a link and doesn't need to follow any instructions.

So whenever you are feeling better and have ten minutes to spare, consider these simple actions:

1. Create an index.html file in your cubase repository, containing relative links to both html app pages you created.
2. In github click on the Settings tab of the repo and scroll down to the GitHub Pages section.
3. Then select the master branch source and click on the Save button.

…and you're done!
Fire up a browser and go to http://${username}.github.io/${repository}

(copy-pasted instructions 2 & 3 from https://pages.github.com )

For a moment I thought maybe when the page is hosted on the web it would not be able to read the input xml from the local computer, but I tested it quickly by putting one of those pages on my own server, and it seems to work. Got it up to the dialog for choosing an input file, so I expect that's not a technical limitation.

Nice work btw, xslt transformations are a bit of a forgotten art form.

Wow, this is great. Thank you! I saved the file as a PDF so I have easy access to all the key commands, and can easily CTRL + F to find commands. Sweet!

There is also a HTML app for Cubase Generic Remotes.

https://github.com/janminor/cubase/archive/master.zip

Instructions
download and unzip the zip file, open the resulting folder and doubleclick the CubaseKeyCommands.html to open it in your browser (Firefox, Chrome and Safari should work).

You need to locate the xml file with the key command definitions.

The "Key Commands.xml" on Windows is in "%APPDATA%\Steinberg\Cubase 9.5_64"(or the respective version).
On a Mac, look in “/Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/[program name]/”.

For the generic Remote (CubaseGenericRemote.html), you first need to export the config you want from the "Generic Remote" Dialog in Cubase.

Sadly it is only possible to display the English command names as I don’t have access to the translations...

Could you please add link to https://janminor.github.io/cubase/ or to repository page https://github.com/janminor/cubase in Original Post? Right now it's needed to take link to zip archive, remove path to file to get to the repo.
