Navigating the Editor window is obviously a very frequent operation. Ardour sticks
|
|
with a lot of the usual conventions in this regard, to allow for a quick learning.
|
|
As those operations are so common, it is worth taking the time to learn most of
|
|
the keyboard and mouse shortcuts in order for these to become fast and natural.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The keyboard shortcuts can, as always, be edited, so the defaults are shown here.

<h2>Scrolling</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Scrolling can be done on-canvas, or with the <a href="@@summary">Summary</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>On Canvas</h3>
|
|
|
|
<table>
|
|
<thead>
|
|
<tr><th>Action</th><th>Mouse</th><th>Keyboard</th></tr>
|
|
</thead>
|
|
<tbody>
|
|
<tr><th>Scrolling up</th><td><kbd class="mouse">⇑</kbd></td><td><kbd>↑</kbd></td></tr>
|

<p class="note">
|
|
Moving the playhead outside the view may scroll the screen accordingly, so using
|
|
<kbd class="mod2">←</kbd> or <kbd class="mod2">→</kbd>, while not
|
|
<em>scrolling</em> per se, will result in scrolling if <kbd class="option">Transport > Follow playhead</kbd>
|
|
is checked. This is also true with the <a href="@@mini-timeline">
|
|
Navigation Timeline</a>, and anything that moves the Playhead.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>In the Summary</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Clicking and dragging in the Summary will scroll the view left and right. If the
|
|
screen view is clicked (the white rectangle) and dragged, the view can also be scrolled
|
|
vertically.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Additionally, on the left of the Summary, the two <kbd class="menu"><</kbd> and
|
|
<kbd class="menu">></kbd> arrows buttons allow to scroll one screen either left
|
|
or right, while at the right of the Summary, the two <kbd class="menu">∧</kbd> and
|
|
<kbd class="menu">∨</kbd> arrows buttons allow to scroll one screen either up
|
|
or down.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Zooming</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Zooming (on time) can be done on-canvas (which will always be centered around the mouse cursor),
|
|
with the Summary, or with the <a href="@@zoom-controls">Zoom Controls</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>On Canvas</h3>
|
|
|
|
<table class="dl">
|
|
<tr><th>Zooming in</th><td><kbd class="mod1 mouse">⇑</kbd></td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Zooming out</th><td><kbd class="mod1 mouse">⇓</kbd></td></tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<h3>In the Summary</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Resizing the screen view in the Summary (the white rectangle) changes the zoom
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>With the Zoom Controls</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
With the Zoom Focus set, the <kbd>−</kbd> and <kbd>+</kbd> buttons
|
|
will zoom out or in around this focus. The <kbd>[ ]</kbd> button zooms to the
|
|
whole session as defined by the start and end markers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
These controls are bound to the keyboard <kbd>−</kbd> and <kbd>=</kbd>
|
|
respectively by default.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Height of the tracks</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Changing the height of the tracks results in more or less tracks on screen. This
|
|
can be done on canvas, with the Summary or with the Zoom Controls.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>On canvas</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Using <kbd class="mod2 mouse">⇓</kbd> or <kbd class="mod2 mouse">⇑</kbd>
|
|
while hovering over a track reduces or enhances its height, i.e. zooms on the
|
|
hovered track, regardless of the selection.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <kbd>F</kbd> key resizes the tracks so that only the selected one(s) are
|
|
displayed. If some unselected tracks are in-between those selected tracks, their
|
|
<a href="@@the-tracks-and-busses-list">visibility</a> will be toggled off.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>In the Summary</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Resizing the screen view in the Summary (the white rectangle) changes the number
|
|
of tracks displayed (hence their heights) accordingly. It behaves more like a zoom
|
|
as the relative height of the tracks are kept.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>With the Zoom Controls</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The three rightmost buttons of the Zoom Control bar, while not zoom buttons,
|
|
act upon the height of the tracks:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The first selector directly selects how many tracks are currently on screen.</li>
|
|
<li>The second one reduces the height of the selected track(s). If none are
|
|
selected, all the tracks are affected, while maintaining (as long as it is
|
|
possible) their relative heights.</li>
|
|
<li>The third one enlarges the tracks, and is the counterpart of the previous
|
|
one.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
