Commands Key Focus
(TDM Systems Only)
The Commands Key Focus provides a wide
range of single-key commands from the al-
pha keyboard for controlling editing and
playback.
Pro Tools TDM systems include a set of key-
board stickers that show the single-key
commands and other modifier keys.
To enable the Commands Key Focus:
■ Click the a-z button in upper left of the
Edit window.
You can temporarily invoke single-key
commands even when Commands Key fo-
cus is not enabled by pressing Control
(Macintosh) or the Start key (Windows)
while pressing the appropriate key.
☞ Refer to the Quick Reference Card that
came with your Pro Tools package (TDM sys-
tems only) for a complete list of keyboard
shortcuts. This card is also available in PDF
format in the Release Notes and Documenta-
tion folder.
