live's keyboard shortcuts need some work

Post by boraxx » Wed Sep 30, 2009 3:08 pm

hey there

am i the only one on this boat? these are my gripes with the keyboard shortcut system. please correct me if im overlooking some existing functionality:

- in arrange -> no rewind / fast forward. this is key in order to work around a specific point (and using the loop function is not enough)

- in arrange no nudging of clips. this is pretty important

- in arrange (on a mac) zoom out is the - (minus) key, but zoom in (which is +) requires using the shift key. a bit inconsistent

i know most functions are assignable, but as far as i know, these are not. please feel free to contribute

thanks

I'm already pretty very used to the shortcuts already..
but.. and this is elementary...they needs to be customizable....
or at least overridable*
wake up ableton.. people RARELY trigger clips with their keyboard anymore...
it's un-hypable* ..
it's funny how live is gonna be so open with M4L and the API etc...
and all the while you can't change the shortcuts in live directly(?!)...
