Thanks John!
Ah, keyworthiness . It’s just a rating (MY haphazard rating) of how much a key command is worth it to be assigned a key in a default key commands preset. Some key commands are GREAT for building macros, but it wouldn’t be worth it to sacrifice a keyboard key to assign them on. This rating reflects this. A VERY useful key command (in my humble opinion) will get a 10. Most default key commands get a 10, unless if they don’t work. If a key command doesn’t work, it will get a 0.
If a key command doesn’t do anything, or does something that is not immediately visible (after reading the manual and trying in project, mixconsole, editors), it gets a “?”. You can search for these with Ctrl F and chip in if you know what it does. It will be much appreciated!
It goes without saying that one man’s gold is another man’s trash. What seems awesome to me might be trivial to you. Don’t give this keyworthiness rating much thought. Consider it a “worth checking out” rating.
Also…some key commands only function when a particular window is in focus. Would this be something valuable to add?
Of course it would be valuable! For key commands that I expected them to work somewhere and they didn’t, I comment about it in the notes section of each key command. But testing all key commands in all windows is… I don’t know where to start. Maybe on a second pass I could look into it.
And finally, since you are being quite detailed, maybe a list of missing key commands?
In cases where this lack is obvious, for example in Edit Channel Settings, I leave a comment/note. However, since finding ALL missing key commands will require a full scan of all functions in all windows and editors, I think it’s too difficult for me alone to do accurately and reliably. More sets of eyes are needed!
Overall, I would like it if:
When I’m done, I’ll upload the excel file in the original post for everyone to do as they see fit with it.
Thank you for your interest!
Focus
Through trial and error, aid from assigned navigation keys, and sheer luck, you can even (mostly) (somewhat) control mixconsole racks, channel settings page, and others.
Function: Moves focus to the previous focus point?
Keyworthiness: ?
Default: Alt Return
Function: Multifunctional key. At times loads plug-ins, other times expands tabs, other times activates sends. It’s a key of action! Do I know what it does exactly? No.
Keyworthiness: 10
Function: Lose focus?
Keyworthiness: ?
Function: Moves focus to the next focus point?
Keyworthiness: ?
HeadTracking
Function: Brings up the Head Tracking panel.
Keyworthiness: 3 (Easily accessible in Project menu)
Hitpoints
All the commands work with multiple selections (1 tool). If a range is selected (2 tool), hitpoint processing will apply to the whole event caught in the range, and not just the range.
Function: Allows you to manually create Hitpoints for the selected event(s). (If Preferences>Editing>Audio>Enable Automatic Hitpoint Detection is unticked)
Keyworthiness: 7
Function: Slices up the selected event(s) at their hitpoints, and bundles all those new events (slices) into a part.
Keyworthiness: 7
Function: As it says. This command will create a marker for each hitpoint encountered.
Keyworthiness: 7
When we use this command on multiple tracks and events, the numbering of the markers goes like this: Marker 1 will be the first hitpoint of the first event selected. Marker x will be the last hitpoint of the last event selected on the same track. Marker x+1 will be the first hitpoint of the first event selected on the second track etc. etc… So when the whole procedure completes, you will see marker numbers all over the place. To state it in another way, the markers are not sorted according to global project time. If you wish them to appear “in order”, use “Functions>Reassign Position Marker IDs” in the Markers window (Ctrl M)
Function: This will take the scissors to the events, and split them at the hitpoints’ positions.
Keyworthiness: 7
Function: If you are not happy with the detected hitpoints (automatically detected or otherwise) you can use this command to remove them all. Will also work with multiple selections.
Keyworthiness: 7
Hub
Function: Brings up the Hub panel.
Keyworthiness: 5
Import
Function: Brings up the Import AAF window, in order to choose the file.
Keyworthiness: 4
Function: Brings up the Import OMF window, in order to choose the file.
Keyworthiness: 4
Inspector
Instrument Tracks have problems with a few of these commands, probably due to the “dual” setup present on their inspector. Not all Sections are on the same level, causing “open next/previous” to fail. “Inserts” could be MIDI inserts or channel inserts. More refinement is required, and keycommands for all the sections.
Function: Opens the next Inspector Section. You can cycle through all of them with this command.
Keyworthiness: 5
If you have Sections pinned, the command will skip to the next unpinned section and open that one instead.
When trying to cycle through instrument tracks WITH OR WITHOUT PINNED SECTIONS though, it seems that this command gets stuck when it reaches the “Instrument” Section. I guess that’s because “Instrument” gets its own setup, and the entries are nested within, on a different level compared to the following entries. So, upon reaching Instrument, the underlying sections appear, but if you want to keep cycling with the key command, you’ll have to manually open the first entry with the mouse. For me, it’s “Equalizers”. From there the command will work and cycle back normally, until reaching “Instrument” again.
Function: Opens the previous Inspector Section. You can cycle through all of them with this command.
Keyworthiness: 5
See above. BUT, when you have NO Sections pinned, this command will allow you to cycle through all the sections.
Function: Opens/Closes the Fader.
Keyworthiness: 5
Should be renamed to Fader Section
Does not work for Instrument Tracks’ “Audio Fader” Section. HA!
Function: Opens/Closes Cue Sends Section.
Keyworthiness: 5
Instrument Tracks don’t have a Cue Sends Section.
Function: Opens/Closes Device Panel Section.

Function: In Pool, creates a new folder.
Keyworthiness: 3 (easily found on right click menu)
You can only add a folder beneath Audio, or Video. You cannot add a root folder on the same level with those two.
The name of the command should be “Pool: Create New Subfolder” for more clarity.
Function: In MediaBay, creates a new folder under the selected path.
Keyworthiness: inf? (Can’t seem to find a button to create folders in MediaBay browser)
The name of the command should be “MediaBay: Create New Folder” for more clarity.
Function: Creates a Sampler Track from the selected file. Works in Pool and MediaBay browser.

Function: From the manual: “You can manually generate thumbnail cache files. This is necessary if a thumbnail cache file could not be generated during import because the folder is write-protected, or because you have edited the file with an external video editing application.”
Keyworthiness: 3 (easily found in Media menu)
Personally, when I hear “Thumbnail”, my mind goes to Videos and Photos. This command remains available always, so I’m guessing it’s a global command affecting just the video track (if present).
Function: In MediaBay, hides all the folders that have not been scanned.
Keyworthiness: 3 (found in MediaBay Settings cog)

Function: Opens/Closes the Attribute Inspector in the MediaBay
Keyworthiness: 10?
This command is a show/hide right zone for the MediaBay, Loop Browser, and Sound Browser windows. Why have an extra command then? Because, if you activate Always on Top, this keycommand will work regardless of which window has focus (Project, Mixconsole). However, if we have all three windows open and always on top (MediaBay, Loop Browser, Sound Browser), the window that gets the command is MediaBay. If we close MediaBay, the next window to get the commands is Loop Browser.
It seems that this is a 5 segment layout - with Top, Left, Center, Right, Bottom Zones. I like it, and would like it implemented for all windows. Separating the key commands though, like in this instance, I’m not so sure.

OMG what a post! I saw it when I was surfing through new posts and I didn’t enter it because of title, I thought it was some rant I think it’s better for it to have some self explanatory name (if it is still possible to edit the title)
Post of the century! @ ggmanestraki Thanks so much for doing this.
BTW, right click menu also supports hotkeys, Disable Track is B. Much faster than hotkey or mouse.
I have never knew how to do this! So useful! But is there any menu for this?
Yes! Having a keycommand that focus the next free insert slot and opens plugin search - would be a killer thing! Inspired by Ableton. Adding a new plugin there has awesome flow. Ctrl+F (search) > EQ(query) > down(select) > enter(apply): and there you have an EQ. Quick and easy.
From there, you can go to the next slot with SHIFT LEFT/ SHIFT RIGHT. You can press ALT ENTER to “Activate” the selected slot.
Looks like an abandoned idea or something. Really usels.
Function: When you give this command, the Preference Auto Select Events under Cursor is Activated/Deactivated.
What does this Preference actually do? I tried it from the select menu, actually it should be called: select events under playhead (transport bar). Activating this option doesn’t work for me in C10.0.3. What is expected behaviour? Events under mouse cursor becomes selected?

I didn’t know that! I’ll study the page you posted in that other thread. It’s unbelievable how many things are hidden from plain sight yet they work. And the crazy thing is, people who are used to the shortcuts will keep using them even if those shortcut displays disappear due to an update or any other reason, and they will think nothing of it. But someone who doesn’t keep the 20+ years history of the program into their head will just assume the function doesn’t exist, when in fact it DOES exist, it’s just hidden. Mindblowing.
I have never knew how to do this! So useful! But is there any menu for this?

I’m not familiar with Ableton, but I think it’s a pretty logical thing to have regardless.
Looks like an abandoned idea or something. Really usels.
Sometimes I wonder if there are commands that are used under the hood JUST for the CC121 or other controllers. Maybe it’s something like this, maybe it’s something left over and useless as you say, and they didn’t have time to take it out yet?

The Inspector is the Left Zone of the project window. If you enter the setup (from the cog icon) you can make it so the device panels show. Device panels seem awfully powerful. I don’t have the slightest idea about them. Maybe some darks arts specialists are still around to share some tips and tricks.

I tested that, but… nothing. It’s a mystery.
Set Spacer between Selected Events
I wonder what is use case for this?
I wonder if it’s crosstalk from Nuendo. I imagine that if you work in time mode and have lots of events parker one right after the other, and you wanted them to occur at a set interval, you’d use this command. And then the events would be all spaced apart by the seconds specified in the dialog. (Let’s say we selected 10 seconds, Event A would stay still, the next event (B) would be moved so that it occured 10 seconds after A, then C would be moved so that it occured 10 seconds after B, etc. etc.)

YOU are a saint! Thank you so very much!

Function: Activates/Deactivates automatic Hitpoint detection.
Keyworthiness: 5 depending
This comand does not create Hitpoints itself, neither is it retroactive. This means, if you have Automatic Detection enabled and record an event, you will get Hitpoints. Now, if you give the command, the hitpoints will not dissapear for this event. It’s just they will not be auto-created for the next event that you record. (And of course when you record said next event, and give the command afterwards, the event will not have hitpoints automatically calculated for it.)

Function: Cycles between “Musical”, “Time Linear”, and “Follow Transport Main Display”. When you then create a new track, it will use the relevant Time Base.
Keyworthiness: 5
Function: Activates/Deactivates. When activated: Moving an audio event/midi part so that it overlaps another one will delete the overlapped area.
Keyworthiness: 7
Overlapping that happens due to recording does not delete overlaps immediately. You must move the overlapping event a little bit, and only then do the overlapped areas get deleted.
Function: Activates/Deactivates. When activated, trying to delete any track that is not empty will display a warning, and require confirmation.
Keyworthiness: 3 (not something to change frequently I imagine)
We can always undo deletion of a track.

Function: Activates/Deactivates. When deactivated: If you have a CC extend beyond an event’s (note’s) duration and you select the event, only the CC nodes exactly matching the note’s duration will be selected. When activated, if the CC continues beyond the duration of the note, this extra data will be selected when you select the note.
Keyworthiness: 4
Function: Activates/Deactivates. When activated, the MIDI part in the project window will also depict CCs, and not only notes.
Keyworthiness: 4
Function: Activates/Deactivates. When activated: When you are recording MIDI and you stop recording, the MIDI part created will be extended to start/end on the start of a bar. When deactivated: The MIDI part will have it start at where recording began, and its end at where recording stopped.
Keyworthiness: 3 (not something to change frequently I imagine)
Function: Activates/Deactivates. When activated: If you split a MIDI part in the project window, this preference will make it so that the new part gets a CC data node at its start (if the value was different than 0). When deactivated: The controller will not get a data node at the start. (and playback oddities may ensue if you throw away the first part that had the CC value leading into the the second parts value.)
Keyworthiness: 3 (not something to change frequently I imagine)
I cannot imagine why someone would want to keep this preference deactivated. (?)
Function: Activates/Deactivates. Similar as above. When activated, splitting a MIDI part in the project window at the middle of an event, will make it so the event is also split. When deactivated, splitting a MIDI part at the middle of an event, will make it so the event is “truncated” at the position of the split, and no new event is created in the part on the right.
Keyworthiness: 3 (not something to change frequently I imagine)
Function: Cycles between “Always ask to”, “Always”, “Do not”. Determines if a MIDI track will be created when you load a VSTi from the F11 menu.

Function: Activates/Deactivates. When activated, loading a plug-in will immediately bring up its window (GUI).
Keyworthiness: 8
If you are planning on creating 10 instances of “Mystic” for example, it’s a good idea to deactivate this preference before the batch creation.

When you finally have finished, I hope you put everything here in a PDF download?
I could easily make it a pdf in this format, yes. But what I’d really like, is if keto88 could make the excel (from which I’m taking the data and posting it here as text) into an html (Offline). That would be the bomb. I will of course post the excel file when I’m done, and a pdf/doc/txt of this current format.
