This includes rewriting out all of the "you" language that was peppered throughout, fixing inconsistencies in layout, and removing <br>s wherever they were misused and unnecessary (which was quite a lot).

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:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<kbd>S</kbd> for <kbd class="menu">Region > Edit > Split</kbd>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
or
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<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 menu or submenu, hover over the item with the mouse and press
|
|
the desired combination of modifiers and key.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="warning">
|
|
Ardour will silently reassign the binding of a key combination that is
|
|
already in use, possibly removing a standard keyboard shortcut without any
|
|
warning. This might lead to confusion when asking for help—when the
|
|
explanation is given in terms of a standard key binding—which will have
|
|
a completely different effect on the system with the modified key bindings.
|
|
</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="mod1n"></kbd>, <kbd
|
|
class="mod2n"></kbd>, <kbd class="mod3n"></kbd>, etc.) differ among
|
|
platforms, so different default bindings for each are provided.
