Switching into draw mode should be a one key affair.

Quantize by current grid size is nice, but Live won't zoom out to larger subdivisions if a clip is small. So I can't quantize to 1/4 notes automagically.

Constantly adjusting the size of the roll window is a bit of a hassle as well.
i agree, but this one is possible... Switching into draw mode should be a one key affair. just map manually any key (i use Q) to the pen symbol next to the transport pane, done.
If they would only put a mappable undo-button right next to it...

They need a whole new key mapping scheme. Some of this stuff is accesible in max for live, but you shouldn't have to pay $300 to map undo/redo/fire selected clip/next track/etc.

Also it would be nice to be able to manually assign midi mappings - sometimes I'll have some junk coming through and I can't map what I want mapped.
