<p>Almost every available function in Ardour can be executed via a keyboard shortcut (or OSC 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Ardour comes with a rich set of default bindings. The default bindings are "mnemonic" in that they focus on trying use to
|
|
the letter that starts the name of an operation as the binding for
|
|
that operation. This is not always possible, but it acts as a general
|
|
rule. 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 common
|
|
bindings (e.g. "s" for "Split", "p" for "position playhead").</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Almost every key binding ("shortcut") in Ardour can be changed. From the main menu choose <code>Window > Key Bindings</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The conventions for using modifier keys (Control, Alt, Command
|
|
etc.) differ from platform to platform, so we provide different
|
|
bindings for each platform.</p>
