Cmd+d should duplicate loop without having to select loop brace
Posted: Sun Jul 09, 2023 9:04 pm
In clip view, the "duplicate" button in "tool panels" duplicates the loop by pressing the duplicate button.
Pressing cmd+d should do the same exact thing in this context, if no notes are selected.
Buuuuut it doesn't. It's dumb-programmed rather than smart-programmed. It requires you to first take the mouse, move the cursor to the loop brace and click on it. Then press cmd+d. It's bad UX. Period. It makes no sense except to make more work. something that should be a keystroke instead takes multiple steps.
Ableton devs: I'm not trying to be assy here, but these are the kind of quality of life things that I expect of high quality software that costs $749.00. The UI/UX should be as streamlined as possible for the user's workflow.
