Hi, I would like to understand better why some shortcuts in Dorico are like they are. What is a logic is behind?
Some key commands are “single”, for example:
Chord input will be activated and deactivated with a single command “Q”.
Dotted Notes will be activated and deactivated with a single command “.”
Input of Slurs with “S” and so…
That is very convenient to work with and to remember.
But some commands are “doubled”? For example:
To force stems down - “W”, to force them up - Alt+W".
Tuplet input starts with “Alt+Ö” (German keyboard layout), and ends just with “Ö”.
Why not to use just consistently one command “W” or “Ö” to activate and deactivate such options? If user has in some bar stems down, pressing W he would get stems up and opposite. The same with tuplets - pressing “Ö” could activate tuplet input, pressing “Ö” again - deactivate it.
