How to Map Shortcuts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Open the settings (top right)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Go to Mapping and there will be a selection for Keyboard<\/span><\/p>\n

To set a hotkey, click in the Key field and press the keys you want to use (here I pressed Shift and the 1 key)<\/span><\/p>\n

If anything is already assigned to that key, the script will appear underneath in Action. If there’s nothing assigned, the Action box will be blank.<\/span><\/p>\n

I already assigned Shift 1 to a color code, so the script browsed_file_color “#fc1703” appears.
\nEnter the script (code) you want to assign to this hotkey.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you’ve made all the changes, press the button with the disk icon at the top right to save.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you ever screw up something, you can look at the factory defaults. You can also save different sets of hotkeys (but you probably won’t need to).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Custom buttons<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Pro layout you can set custom buttons. <\/span>If you don’t see them, you may have to click the bar that says hotcues.<\/span><\/p>\n

I recommend setting a button to pitch_lock. It’s better to activate with a hotkey, but you want the button to see when it’s on or off!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Color coding info<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are the standard colors you can type for color coding scripts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can also use a color picker like Google’s to select a color and get the code<\/span><\/p>\n
