Almost every available function in Ardour can be bound to a keyboard

|
|
|
|
shortcut (and those few that cannot will usually respond to an <a

|
title="Open Sound Control">OSC</abbr> command</a>). Ardour comes with a
|
|
|
|
|
rich set of default <dfn>key bindings</dfn> for the most commonly used
|
|
|
|
|
functions.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>These bindings strive to be <dfn>mnemonic</dfn>, that is, easy and intuitive
|
|
|
|
|
to remember, and follow widely accepted conventions. As a general rule,
|
|
|
|
|
the first letter of an operation will be used for as a shortcut, if
|
|
|
|
|
available. This does not necessarily lead to the best ergonomics for
|
|
|
|
|
rapid editing — there are alternative binding sets for that —
|
|
|
|
|
but it does make it simpler for newcomers to remember some of the most
|
|
|
|
|
useful ones, for example<br />
|
|
|
|
|
<kbd>S</kbd> for <kbd class="menu">Region > Edit > Split"</kbd>
|
|
|
|
|
or<br />
|
|
|
|
|
<kbd>P</kbd> for <kbd class="menu">Transport > Playhead > Playhead to Mouse</kbd>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Almost every key binding in Ardour can be changed in
|
|
|
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Window > Key Bindings</kbd>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The conventions for using modifier keys (<kbd class="mod1"> </kbd>, <kbd
|
|
|
|
|
class="mod2"> </kbd>, <kbd class="mod3"> </kbd> etc.) differ among platforms, so we
|
|
|
|
|
provide different default bindings for each.
