Alt shortcuts
Most windows, including the main window, feature shortcuts using the Alt key. If you press the Alt key the
shortcut characters will appear underlined. The shortcuts will hide again when the Alt key is released. The
shortcut key should be pressed before the Alt key is released.
In the main window, only the mixer section which has focus can be controlled using Alt shortcuts. A dot
appears on the left hand side of the mixer section indicating it is focused. Tab and Shift+Tab can be used to
move focus. Clicking a section (including any of its controls) will focus that section as well.
The Preference and EQ windows have a similar focus mechanism.
Focus indicator (left) and Pan knob after pressing Alt+P (right).
Volume faders and rotary knobs can be edited using Alt shortcuts as well. An edit field appears in which a
new value can be typed. Pressing Enter accepts the new value, Esc discards it.
Instead of typing a value you can use the up/down arrow keys to move the control. Note that you'll have to
press Esc to accept this value, since Enter accepts the edit field's value.
Note: the left Alt key should be used on some international keyboards.
