So many things i like, just a few i don't...:

1. Rearranging tracks can screw up the key/midi mappings.
Say you have a clip on track 1 assigned in key "a" and another from track 2 on key "b"
If you swap those tracks, key/midi assignments are swapped too.
(APC 40 users: is this the case with the Apc too, or the grid is fixed somehow ?)

1. Follow song (Control+F) option : if you just click in the arrangement view with this option enabled and the song is playing, "Follow" is de-activated without reason. So you have to to enable it again and again.. everytime you click for edit. Very annoying, especially when using "page" option in preferences.

3. Play/pause... shortcuts, i much prefer the cubase way: (press play after you pressed stop continue from the current position / pressing stop 2 times goes to start.)
- Shift+space in live is not the best way for quick navigation, at least let as remap this function to a single key/midi event)

A big +1 on the follow button...I have loathed that "feature" since day 1. Leave it on until I specifically shut it the fuck off, already.

Agree - wonder if there's a reason why it's implemented like that, seems strange...?

Imagine editing something while it slips away on the screen under your mouse pointer. Now that would be strange.
However, there could be a preference to "Enable Follow When Seqeuncer Starts" at least.

I know that's why they implemented it that way, but it's kind of like their decision to only offer 95% feedback on all the delays...they assume you can't walk and chew gum at the same time. Like I don't know what a delay is going to do at 100%.

(not rolling my eyes at you, but rather at the ableton mommy attitude )
