Keyboard shortcuts

Every shortcut is also in the command palette (⌘K), and none fires while you are typing in a text field. Each change a key makes is one undo step; holding an arrow merges into one.

Edit view and set planner

Where a cell holds a dash, that screen has no such key. The Edit view and the set planner use the same keys for the same jobs.

Key	Edit view	Set planner
Space	Play or stop	Play or stop (the audition deck when it was picked last)
⌫, Delete	The cue picked, else the clips picked (a laid-in lane’s last clip takes the lane; on the main track silence stays where they played), else silence over the selection, else the laid-in track picked	The clips picked (a track’s last clip takes the track), else silence over the selection, else the track selected in the arrangement
⌘⌫	Delete time in the selection: the track it is on closes up, never before bar 1	Delete time in the selection, across the whole set
⌘C, ⌘X, ⌘V	Copy the clips picked (several as the stretch they span), the cue picked, or the selection; Cut copies, then does what ⌫ does; Paste at the selection or the cursor, replacing what is there, into silence and past the main track’s end too (a cue keeps its kind, name, colour and loop, a hot cue taking the next free letter)	Copy the clips picked (several as the stretch they span, on each track picked) or what plays across the selection (on every deck, for a stretch of the whole set); Cut copies, then does what ⌫ does; Paste at the selection or the marker: where the copy lands inside its own track on its own deck it goes back there, replacing what is there; anywhere else (the deck selected or last clicked, or past the track) it comes in as a new entry of the same track at that bar, picked and brought into view and cut short at the track’s end; several tracks copied each land on their own deck, as far apart as they were
⌘I	Insert time: silence put into the whole edit at the selection’s start, else the cursor, the selection’s length, else 4 bars (the row and the right-click menu pick 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16): the main track and every laid-in lane split there, and they and their curves move later; the inverse of Delete time	Insert time across the whole set at the selection’s start, else the marker: every track playing there splits, and everything after (clips, curves, the BPM lane, tracks) moves later
⇧⌘V	Paste insert: Paste where Paste lands, with time put in there for the copy’s length first, so what follows moves later instead of being replaced	The same across the whole set
⌘D	Duplicate the clips picked right after them, as Paste would; a cue a bar later (a loop right after itself)	Duplicate the clip picked last right after itself; the rest of the track and the tracks after it move later
⌘A	Pick every clip of the track a clip is picked on, else the selected lane, else the main track	Pick every clip on the deck of the clip picked, else of the selected track
⇧-click, ⌘-click	Add a clip of the same track to the picks, or take it out	Add a clip to the picks, or take it out
Tab, ⇧Tab	Next or previous clip on the track, or cue, while one is picked (otherwise Tab moves focus)	Next or previous clip on the deck, while a clip is picked
←, →	Nudge the clips or cue picked a beat, each stopping at its neighbours and bar 1; with none, move the cursor a beat, bringing it into view	Nudge the clips picked a beat (a track’s first clip moves the track, and the tracks after it follow); with none, move the marker a beat
⇧←, ⇧→	The same by a bar	Nudge by a bar; with none picked, the previous or next transition
→, ← on the crate tree and the track list	→ on a crate goes to the tracks (the selected row, else the first); ← on a row goes back to the open crate. A folder opens first, ← on a nested crate goes to its parent. The same beside the Edit view’s tree and the set planner’s library; never in a timeline, which keeps ←/→ for nudging	The same
⌫, Delete, ↑, ↓, Home, End on the crate tree	With focus in the tree these keys are the tree’s, never the track list’s or a timeline’s beside it (⌘C, ⌘X and ⌘D too, which the tree has no job for yet): ⌫ and Delete delete the crate focused (every picked crate when it is one of them, one undo step); ↑, ↓, Home and End move along the tree’s rows; ⌘A picks every crate; ⌘V pastes copied tracks into the crate focused. On a row, Delete or ⌫ removes the track and focus stays on the row that took its place	The same
Esc	Let go of clips, cue, lane and selection	Let go of clips, selection and the track selected
Home, End	Cursor to the start or end	Marker to the start or end
+, =, −	Zoom in or out around the playhead, else the cursor	Zoom the decks in or out around the playhead, else the marker
F	Follow on or off	Follow on or off
S, L, N, B, G	Split, Loop or Clip (every clip picked; with a selection, the clip under it split around it and looped twice; with a cue picked, its loop of a bar on or off), New clip (up to eight bars looped from the cursor), Draw, Start a bar here	Split, Loop or Clip (every clip picked), Draw
K	Metronome on or off	The same (wherever a metronome switch shows; the Crates deck has none, and K there is Keep)
⇧G, ⇧M	Edit grid (again saves it; ↵ saves and Esc cancels too), Memory loop of a bar at the cursor	–
C, M	Hot cue, memory cue at the cursor	–
[, ]	One repeat fewer or more on every looping clip picked	The same
↵	Rename the clip picked	–
1 to 7	Select, Volume, Low pass, High pass, EQ, Echo, Reverb (nothing while Edit grid is open); 5 again with EQ chosen moves to the next band, and 3, 4, 6 or 7 again moves between the effect’s curve and its setting’s (Resonance, Feedback, Size)	The same
H	–	Hear the transition
⇧D, ⌥⇧D	–	Add a deck; remove the last deck while nothing plays on it
⇧A	–	Auto BPM on or off
M, S, ↑, ↓ on a focused lane card	Mute, solo, fader ½ dB (3 dB with ⇧); the wheel over the fader moves it, over the rest of the card the view	Mute, solo (a deck has no fader)
⌥↑, ⌥↓, ⇧H, ⇧N, ⇧B on a focused laid-in lane card	Pitch up, pitch down, Half time, Normal time, Double time of that lane (shown in its menu)	–
⌘Z, ⇧⌘Z	Undo, redo	Undo, redo

Track lists

The Crates list, a stick’s list, the set planner’s library and the Edit view’s list share these keys. Paste, Remove, the reorder keys and a review’s K, X and E belong to Crates alone.

Key	Track lists
↑, ↓	The previous or next row
⇧↑, ⇧↓, ⇧-click, ⌘-click	Pick a range of rows, or add a row to the picks
⌘A	Pick every row on show (in the crate tree, every crate)
Esc	Let go of the picks, back to the selected row
⌘C	Copy the picked rows, else the selected one, ahead of any clip copy on the screen while a row has focus; the system clipboard gets “Artist - Title” lines
⌘V	Crates: paste the copied tracks into the open crate after the selected row (at the end while sorted), or into the crate focused in the tree; one undo step
⌥↑, ⌥↓	Crates: move the picked rows one place in the crate’s own order (held, one undo step); while sorted, a toast says to clear the sort
⌫, Delete	Crates: remove the picked rows from the crate
K, X, E	Keep, Cut, Extended, while a review is open
F	Favorite
↵	Edit
⌘N, ⇧⌘N, ⌥⌘N	Crates: New crate, New folder, New smart crate
⌘F	Search the list on show; Esc clears it, a second Esc goes back to the rows
⌘,	Settings (as ⌥4)
⌘Z, ⇧⌘Z in Settings	Undo or redo a setting

Right-click menus

Right-click menus on the Crates screen: a row (or the picked rows, headed with their count), the whole deck, a crate or folder in the tree (a folder’s makes a crate, folder or smart crate inside it), Favorites and Collection (Review), the tree’s empty area (New crate, New folder, New smart crate), the list’s header (the open crate’s actions, Search, Clear sort) and the list’s empty area (Paste, Select all, Search). Cut and past reviews have nothing to act on, so they have no menu of their own.
