Help with saving keyboard shortcuts

Hi

I’m having a lot of trouble on CUBASE 15 with it remembering my shortcuts . I silent a day putting them in on another computer ( as it wouldn’t recognise my saved document ) saved them under a unique name but it won’t keep them loaded . The dialogue box in the right corner is always empty .

Any suggestions would be gratefully received

Hi,

Copy over the KeyCommands.xml file from the preferences folder of the old computer to the preferences folder of the new computer. In this file are the Key Commands living in Cubase.

Cubase Preferences folders are:
Mac: ~/Library/Preferences/Cubase X
Win: %appData% \Steinberg\Cubase X_64

Where the X is the Cubase version (for example 15).

Alas it wouldn’t load

Hi,

What exactly do you mean? It definitely works.

Don’t use the Save Preset… Use the method, I described, please.

I get this !

Also when I close the key commands window and reopen the preset has disappeared

Many thanks for your help BTW

Hi,

As I said, don’t use the Save Preset method.

Go this way:

  1. Quit Cubase at system A.
  2. Find the KeyCommands.xml file in the preferences folder.
  3. Put it to your flash drive.
  4. Move to system B.
  5. Quit Cubase at system B.
  6. Paste the KeyCommands.xml file to the preferences folder.
  7. Start Cubase on system B.
    => The Key Commands from system A are available on system B.

Cubase Preferences folders are:
Mac: ~/Library/Preferences/Cubase X
Win: %appData% \Steinberg\Cubase X_64

Where the X is the Cubase version (for example 15).

it might have something to do with privileges. Macs are extremely strict about this, alas. Cubase needs to be able to access all files and folders and your computer.

Hi,

Then in which step did you get this?

Oh

This was when I imported the “key commands file” as per the manual instructions. This was why I originally posted

E

Hi,

Please, write the number of the step, when did you get this message. There is no Import step in my instructions.

As I said before. This is what happens when I just try and import the key commands file

Hi,

OK, so I expect, it’s working for you, now.

Nope

Had to re input them all!
