Question regarding osx keyboard shortcuts

Post by jinxpk » Thu Jul 21, 2011 11:04 pm

Hi, I'm used to using Live to edit midi on my PC and have started using a Mac. On my PC, I can edit midi really quickly using the keyboard shortcuts. One specifically that I use all the time, is holding alt+shift to change the length of notes I have selected off the grid. I would assume on macs this would simply be option+shift, but it doesn't work. Is there an equivalent command on macs? Are there any keyboard shortcuts that exist on macs but not on pcs that I should know about? Thanks!!!

Thanks. So I am right that there are some keyboard shortcuts that simply don't exist on Macs? The two I used all the time on my PC that I'm referring to are:

1. shift + alt + arrows, to reduce/extend the duration of selected notes off the grid.
2. holding control and clicking on a clip to move the start/loop marker (while staying quantized, if you hold cmd on a mac to move the clip start/loop markers you have to click again to quantize it)

also there is no keyboard shortcut on osx to move midi notes off the grid (when grid is enabled), a very useful shortcut on windows. Strange that this is the case since Mac's have an extra key on the keyboard! (control+command+option, whereas pcs only have contrl+alt). There is no way to get around this right?
