My CMD+OPT+L and CMD+OPT+I are broken

Post by jpallarest » Wed Feb 27, 2019 9:05 pm

No idea why these 2 keyboard shortcuts don't work: CMD+OPT+L (to show or hide detail view), and CMD+OPT+I (to show or hide in/out section).

The rest CMD+OPT commands do. Like CMD+OPT+B to show or hide browser and such.

Any ideas how could I fix this?
Anyone here can reproduce the same issue?

they work fine here in Live 10. most likely cause is that they have been re-mapped to something else in the keyboard system preferences, or by some other app you have installed...

Weird, I've not remapped keyboard to any other setting than defaults (new-ish Mac, switched from years of PC Windows use). If it's the second case..how would I know?

EDIT: I already found what's causing the issue. It's because I'm using 'Español - ISO' input source in the keyboard preferences. I hope Ableton provided a way to solve the issue without having to switch to another keyboard layout. Yo hablo español.

try re-mapping the Live shortcuts using the keyboard system preferences:

note that for this to work you need copy the function name from the Live menu exactly. also, watch out for conflicts with existing shortcuts—they also mess things up...

Replying in case there has been a solution found to this issue, as I'm using the Français canadien - CSA as a keyboard (even when I work in English) and I'm also having the same issue.
