This includes fixing em-dashes, badly spaced colons, various
misspellings, removal of spurious {% %} constructs, conversion of <br />
to <br> (still too many <br>s kicking around), and initial light cleanup
of a few sections that caught my eye.

Almost every available function in Ardour can be bound to a keyboard
|
|
shortcut (and those few that cannot will usually respond to an <a
|
|
href="/using-control-surfaces/controlling-ardour-with-osc/"><abbr
|
|
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>
|
|
Existing key bindings in menus are listed on the right side of the
|
|
menu items. 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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Almost every key binding in Ardour can be looked for and/or 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.
