| Activate/Deactivate Focused Object |
Alt A |
Multifunctional key. Activates/Deactivates whatever can be activated/deactivated when it’s focused. Note: Works on headers (Inserts, Sends, EQ, Strip) to bypass them. Works on specific controls that have focus, e.g. an equalizer band. I suspect there are a million other places where this works, but getting keyboard focus to test it out is tough.

| Apply Click Pattern to Equal Signatures |
|

Cut, Copy, and Paste of Selection Ranges |
| Cut Head |
|
Select part of an event with the range tool. Give the command. Observe how “the head” (what’s left of the starting point of the range) is removed. Excellent! Note: This isn’t a “Cut” and then paste command. It’s actually a macro that Splits at the start of the range selection, and then deletes the event on the left side of the split.
|

Using Cut Head and Cut Tail |
| Cut Tail |
|
Select part of an event with the range tool. Give the command. Observe how “the tail” (what’s right of the ending point of the range) is removed. Excellent! Note: This isn’t a “Cut” and then paste command. It’s actually a macro that Splits at the end of the range selection, and then deletes the event on the right side of the split.
|
10 |
Using Cut Head and Cut Tail |
| Cut Time |
Ctrl Shift X |
This command will cut (with the option to paste later) pure time. For example: If you have events ranging from 1.1.1.0 to 32.1.1.0 and you make a range selection from 9.1.1.0 to 17.1.1.0 and then give the command, you’ll see how the contents of the range are gone, and what at first started at 17.1.1.0 has now been moved to 9.1.1.0. It’s as if time… has been cut. |

| Edit Active Part Only |
|
When we have many parts selected and we open an editor, all those parts will show in the editor. The active part is in the foreground, the rest in the background. However, if we click purposefully on an event in the background, the part that contains this event becomes active. If you don’t like this behavior, use this command so that you edit the active part only. |

Does like the glue tool. Note: This is NOT the tool, this is the action performed by the tool. It is instant. It would be more useful if it kept things selected after gluing. I’d then give it an 8 at least.
