Locators on keypad

[mako]

Bob - would it be possible to add an option in V4 to be able to use the keypad for MT locators?
I find I never use the keypad for zoom but would very much use the locator option.

Thanks

Pressing Alt-Numpad keys will jump you to the first 10 Locate points.

Set Locate points and label them if wanted and then you can use the Alt-Numpad option to jump directly to the first 10.

Didn't know that either :o

Great - thanks Bob.

Bob - would it be possible to have that option as a menu option?

And - is it possible to have keypad locators work even when, for example, the Wide Mixer view is upfront?
It would be very handy when working on details of a track in Wide Mixer view to just hit a keypad button to return to a desired point.

Thanks

The locators are allready available as on a menu.
In the MT window there are 4 locators and an extra button to the right, if you click on that you can set 30 locators.

Sorry - I meant as a switchable menu option.
Alt keypad - or just - keypad.

Thanks olzzon

Interesting idea. Maybe toggle the functionality of zoom vs. locate for the keypad between no-alt vs. alt and alt vs. no-alt. The latter configuration would make more sense for the way I work.

[Bob L]

Well... I guess that's a possibility for those that value the locates over the zoom.

I guess in my case it's because zooming with the mousewheel is so much quicker than going to the keypad, while hitting the keypad is easier than mousing to the locate points menu. FWIW. Different strokes...

I guess in my case it's because zooming with the mousewheel is so much quickerI almost never zoom via keypad since I got my mousewheel. My earlier trackball had no wheel.

I like the keypad/locate idea.

Thanks,

I guess there's the rub........ for those unfortunates who have no scrollwheel..... (poor suckers. :)) I can barely tollerate a basic two button mouse these days.

For those who aren't aware... sell your house if you have to, but get a mousewheel. It has changed my life. Zooming is no longer something I have to think about. It just happens in the flow, rather than becoming another step (or steps) in the process where I have to look down at the keyboard or mouse over to an on-screen button. Vertical and Horizontal zooming are now second-nature. It's a whole new world.

P.S. Get a mousewheel.

Yes... I am working on hooking the keypad into the mixer views.

Bob,

Would it be possible to still have the number pad + and - keys still do the stepped zoom while the 0 thru 9 number keys do the locate points?

I use the + and - keys all the time for zooming, and use the mouse wheel for track scrolling.

:)

[Bob L]

The + - keys should not be affected by a zoom/locate menu option.
