I’d love be able to have a better way of seeing what custom key commands I’ve made. I’m up to 72 of these and that’s working great. I’ve been manually keeping a track of those in a separate file. Every time I make or change one, I update the file. Pretty cumbersome and error prone. But, I like to keep track so I know that either I’m not messing up a factory default command or if I do, what I overrode and how to go back if needed. Dorico saves these in a plain text file called “keycommands_en.json”. I’m able to search and replace parse that into a clean spreadsheet which once I’ve gone to that effort, its pretty good, just takes a while. It would be nice to get that with a quick and easy button. Pro Tools has a very elegant way of dealing with searching and identifying key commands either by name or holding modifier keys and hot keys. You can filter by custom commands which completely addresses the feature request I’m hitting at here. It also makes it super easy to flip back and forth between factory default and multiple custom commands. Cubase has a great system for this, maybe even better than Pro Tools so hopefully there’s some Steinberg crossover on the future list. Sibelius is actually a step down from Dorico on this. You can’t differentiate custom key commands easily there either, but you also can’t even read that custom key command config file like you can in Dorico.

This is something that has been requested before, and is on our wish list for future versions.
