How to make GLOBAL HOTKEYS/SHORTCUTS in Cubase 9

Cubase

Hi there,

so when I use hotkeys in Cubase with a Windows system, but focus a plugin window, then the hotkey does not work anymore.
This applies to the default hotkey “Go to Project Start” (Num .) for instance.

I want to be able to use Cubase (playlist) hotkeys even when I have a plugin window focused.
However I cannot find a “global” checkbox in the shortcut overview window.

Can anyone help me out with this, and is it even possible?
Happy composing,
Philipp

Hi,

Unfortunately this is not possible. Cubase Key Commands are based on focus.

Hello Martin, thanks for your reply.

I understand. I would be happy to have this feature in one of the future version. I love the program :slight_smile:
Cheers,
Philipp

Generic remote is worth exploring, just to name a different approach.
