Disable all key sequences

I am new to Wavelab and used RX and SF in the past.

Now learning it and the key sequences concept really suprised me. There is a lot of them. And because of it the Wavelab at the moment feels like a mine field. I have no idea what happens if I press D then Y and then 3 accidentally.

Is there a way to somehow disable all key sequences? I do not need such complicated shortcuts because Wavelab is a supplumentary editor for me.

You can customize shortcuts, which means you can replace them or remove them, but this has to be done one by one. This would be a big task. Shortcuts are customized in the WaveLab preferences.
Now, if you don’t press keys like delete or backspace, nothing serious should happen.

Thanks for your reply.

Yeah I thought about the same, disabling all of them gradually while I learn Wavelab.

Having a single checkbox to disable this entire feature would be better of course.

Disabling key sequences would be the same as disabling shortcuts and I don’t recall any programs where that is possible.
It would make the program unusable.

Remember that key sequences are needed as simple shortcuts like “Ctrl+k” or “F4” are probably being used by some other functions.
And WL being such a huge and complex program, more shortcuts are needed.

Still, i understand your request as i have gotten lost with those complex key sequences so i have disabled a few of those that were more prone to be accidentally used and created a few of my own, for the most needed functions, matching the shortcuts in the DAWs i use.
It helps keep focused maintaining the same operating frame and not worrying about certain functions happening by accident.

When you use your programs daily and with a certain level of responsibility, adjusting your shortcuts is the same as adjusting your chair.
