Well, before I go out and kill someone in frustration, I thought I might try here.

Now, I like shortcuts. Especially for navigating and changing values.

How do you go from the browser, to the session view, without clicking the mouse?

What I like, is the ability to navigate around the different settings in the loop editor. Pressing control while using the up/down arrows work fine, but I cannot leave the editor by way of keyboard, only by clicking. This is counter productive, since I have to revert to the mouse again, just to activate another part of Live - this should be done with a key command.

And how do you type vaules for keyframes/automation? When I select a keypoint, I'd like to be able to type in the value and position I want, plus navigate the timeline and use the keyboard for creating additional keyframes. Surely, it's a mistake this is not possible.

I tried looking at the keyboard shortcuts list, but there's no mention of such things. And flicking through the manual didn't help either.

Please tell me there's something I've missed. I can't believe they haven't implemented these very VERYVery basic features

Live is for mousicians... well, I suppose QWERTY keyboards are too, but you're correct in your assumption. Live can't really be controlled from the computer keyboard.

I too would REALLY like a way to open the loop editor with a key command.

Live CAN be controlled quite a bit through the keyboard. There are just some very very basic things that are missing, and that's a load of poo.
