Change existing shortcuts?

Post by Abletoneer23 » Tue Sep 26, 2023 10:08 am

I am very new to ableton, did make the switch coming straight from logic pro, which i used for 10 years. So i was wondering:

Is there any way to change the standard ableton shortcuts to my own liking (and have them switch for different context menus as well)?

I already rely on 3rd Party Softwares like BetterTouchTool and Keyboard Maestro a lot (also back in my Logic days), but the problem is, they dont recognize different editors/parts of ableton and such. So if i change e.g. the "New Midi Track" Key Command to the Letter "A" on my keyboard, i would not be able to use this Key for e.g. the Musical Typing Keyboard, as KM or BTT cant monitor these different contexts.

Is there a way (including 3rd Party software or not) to accomplish things like this?

Would very appreciate any advice!

Thanks!

Nope, there’s no way to change them I’m afraid.

StreamDeck could be your solution, it integrates well with KM.
