I'm not sure this is the same thread I was on yesterday.
Anyway, as I was curious about why this doesn't work the way I'd like, I checked the settings document and noticed that there was a 'VST' typed after the plugin, like so:

Surge
"Surge" vst

It's working fine now. Super useful : )
Basically, the second line is what you would type into the search box to get the thing you want at the top of the list. If you start having issues with a certain plug-in, test different search strings in Ableton’s search box. When ya find one that works, use that in the LES menu config file.

Hey folks,

I used the LES to create arrangement locators keyboard shortcut in Live 10 (Shift L) but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm on Windows 10.

Is it working for anyone else?

The add locator icon in Arrangement is key/midi mappable natively :wink:

All this time and I've never noticed that 'Set' button before.
Handy to know as the LES shortcut does not seem to work with v11.

Nope, not working in 11. I was messing around with the code from GitHub and my guess is that Live 11 is using non-standard menus.

I looked at the GitHub code and figured out the problem. Live 11 changed the menus. I also found an error in the code that's always been there HAHA. Anyways, once they update the code and recompile, it should work again.

The newer versions are here https://github.com/LiveEnhancementSuite/LESforWindows

The link for the release is along the right side under the Releases heading. The latest is v1.3.2-rev2 on Feb 1.

So, I downloaded and installed the latest version but pretty much everything still does not work.
The add locator for example. I do like the key for drawing notes in the clip window without having to press B.
As suggested you have to add locator with the key map : /

Yup. As I said, Add Locator won’t work again until they fix the bug I reported, recompile, and release.

I was just pointing out it's not the only thing that doesn't work anymore...

Ah. Gotcha. I guess it’s to be expected. LES is based on macros and doesn’t tie into Live at a low level. For the most part it just programmatically replicates what you would do with a keyboard and mouse. At least the pop up menu works which is mostly what I depend on it for.

What else isn’t working?

FYI - You don't have to include the end quote " mark to search for an exact match. Just the leading " is enough for Ableton to know that you are searching for an exact match.

Maybe a bug, maybe not. This is in Live 11

Very interesting. Ableton seems to assume the closing quote. You'll still need the second quote, however, if you are adding, say, vst or vst3 to differentiate from an Ableton effect or something. I always use two quotes out of habit, even if its one word.

Yeah, I know that but with the keyboard shortcut, it meant you didn't need to map that in every project.
I know it doesn't take long to map, I just liked the feature.
I'm surprised there's not a keyboard shortcut in live already.

I mapped it as part of my default template, so it’s always available, but yes, I’d love for this to be native functionality (that, and integrated vocal pitch editing, but I digress).
