You know those little popups when you move your mouse over a button.
Well i thought it would be handy to set the left locator with a click and i thought there undoubtedly will be a shortcut for this.
So i moved my mouse over the left locator button in the transport panel and yes i knew it the little hint said:
“Go to Left Locater (use <Alt + Click> to set (Pad 1)”
And i tried and i tried but whatever i did it allways resulted in setting the right locator…
After a frustrating hour i decided to consult the manual…:
“To set the left locator, press [Ctrl]/[Command] and click at the desired position in the ruler.”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.
Please Steiny those hints do come in handy but please please check them for typo’s
That is confusing! And thanks for the hint about being able to set the locator by CTRL-click in the ruler.
I find I usually set the locator at a current cursor position, and in those circumstances I CTRL-Pad #1 for left locator, CTRL-Pad #2 for right locator - no mousing around needed.
