Dear users,
Does Dorico 5 have default keyboard shortcuts for the ten items of “Rhythmic Grid Resolution”?
In my Dorico 5 there are two keyboard shortcuts for each rhythmic grid resolution. For example, the following two shortcuts are assigned to whole note:
What is the default shortcut of Dorico 5? I would use the default shortcut.
On Windows, it’s alt+[ and alt+]

I don’t think there is a default shortcut for this.
Many of us set the grid resolutions to match the note duration keys (so for me ctrl-6 sets crotchet grid etc.)
@Toaster1974
Yes! They are Increase/Decrease Rhythmic Grid.
I confusedly wrote the question. Sorry!
Then I forgot to do it myself. Thank you so much!
Is there a set of shortcuts for the various resolutions?
No. But it is easy to set up your own key commands in Preferences. (I use ctrl-6 to set the grid to crotchets, ctrl-5 for quavers etc. and similar for all the other resolutions)
As described above, Alt-[ and Alt-] will increase/decrease the rhythmic grid. There are no baked-in key commands for the individual rhythms, but in Dorico’s general Preferences, under Key Commands, you kan assign shortcuts to them yourself under Note Input > Rhythmic Grid Resolution.
Edit: Ha, Janus was faster! 
I’ve been creating shortcuts, and am doing a series of ^-# to change grid resolution, using the default duration values. Oddly, when I get to ^3 for 32nd notes, I get this:
That’s not Dorico itself showing that, but rather something provided by macOS. Don’t ask me why…!
OK ! Holy heck.
Wait ! It only happens in Dorico AFAICT…Are there gremlins in the code shop?
No, definitely not. If you hold down a key in certain text fields (it’s impossible to tell which ones will work that way), the OS will pop up these sorts of things to allow you to choose different special characters. I guess somewhere in one of the emoji keyboards or something there’s a special mode for drawing these kinds of ASCII faces. I can promise you, it is not something that Dorico itself is doing.
Well, I’ll be. It went away. By itself. Now I’m wondering if the cockroaches got into my Mac
