Almost every available function in Ardour can be executed via a
|
|
|
|
|
<dfn>key binding</dfn> or <dfn><abbr title="Open Sound
|
|
|
|
|
Control">OSC</abbr></dfn> command. There are many more functions
|
|
|
|
|
available than there are keys on even the largest current computer
|
|
|
|
|
keyboards, so only a subset of them are bound to keys by default.

<h2>Key bindings for menu items</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Existing key bindings in menus are listed on the right side of the
|
|
|
|
|
menu items.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
To create a custom key binding for a menu item quickly, navigate to
|
|
|
|
|
the relevant (sub-) menu, hover over the item with the mouse and press
|
|
|
|
|
the desired combination of modifiers and key.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p class="warning">
|
|
|
|
|
Ardour will silently re-assign the binding if you use a key
|
|
|
|
|
combination that is already in use, possibly removing a standard
|
|
|
|
|
keyboard shortcut without warning you. That might lead to confusion
|
|
|
|
|
when you ask other users for help, and they explain something in terms
|
|
|
|
|
of a standard key binding, which will then have a completely
|
|
|
|
|
different effect on your system.
|
|
|
|

<h2>Key binding editor</h2>

|
|
|

<p>
|
|
|
|
|
For a complete overview of all existing keyboard bindings, go to
|
|
|
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Window > Key Bindings</kbd>. This widget will let
|
|
|
|
|
you view and edit even those functions that are not available in the menu,
|
|
|
|
|
and even remove key bindings altogether.
