Waveform amplitude in SawStudio?

Almost. The former maximizes or minimizes MT track size, "focused" on the topmost tack in the MT view. It's shift+PgUp/PgDn that incrementally changes MT track size.

The latter (numpad digits or +/-) change the horizontal zoom level of the MT (each digit representing a fixed zoom level). Ctrl+numpad +/- maximizes/minimizes the MT horizontal zoom, respectively. Ctrl+numpad digits changes the horizontal zoom level of only the hottrack.

Wow Dave! I didn't know that about Ctrl/numberpad number!! That's the same as Shift/Page up/down, too!

I just discovered 2 other commands I didn't know, when I accidently created a marked area (sloppy fingers on the page up/down keys) and looked up how to clear it without right-clicking on the timeline (as I usually would do) - Press 'C' - DUH! who would've thunk?

Wish I could retain all these keyboard combos for when I'm using the laptop without a mouse scroll wheel.
But I only use that a few times a year and never have the time to look it up or experiment in the heat of the moment...
Someday, maybe.

Yeah, I only discovered a couple of the above yesterday as I was checking stuff out. Never tried some of those key combos before. But I knew there was some misinformation, so it had to be set straight!

Working on a laptop is no fun for this stuff. And without a mouse? Fagetaboudit.

Doing this without a pointing device would be impossible - but almost everywhere you can use them, the keyboard shortcuts are best.

...maybe micro will be tempted to create a navigation/shortcut instructional...

I still remember the day back in 90-something when I moved from the numpad +/- for zooming to the mouse wheel. Changed my life/never looked back, etc.

No doubt!
I even started carrying a wireless usb trackball with me to laptop sessions where I thought I'd need to do any editing on the job..... even though that in itself is its own hassle. especially when there's not enough desk space for even a stationary trackball mouse.

I am really relieved to find a couple of really useful keyboard options now, though! If I ever get to use the laptop at a location recording again, that is..... it's not looking promising around here.
