LightJockey Help

To see if a particular key/combination is already in use, record the key/combination and click Find

Hotkey. If the key or combo is already assigned to a function or program, the assigned function will

be highlighted in the relevant list.

To clear a particular key/combination, record the key and click Clear Hotkey. Alternatively locate and

clear the relevant functions or programs and click Clear Functions or Clear Hotkeys(s) located at

the bottom of each list.

Disable hotkeys in dialogs

To disable the hotkeys in dialogs where normal keyboard operation is required (such as when entering

a name in save dialogs), check the Disable Hotkeys in Dialogs item found in the options menu. By

default hotkeys are disabled in dialogs.

Using Scroll Lock

The scope of hotkeys may be limited by enabling the scroll lock switch for each key/combination.

With scroll lock the hotkey will only work when scroll lock function of the keyboard is enabled. To set

or clear the scroll lock attribute for multiple entries, select the lines, right click and select set or clear

scroll lock from the popup menu.

Keyboard Function Keys (F1-F12)

The function keys F1-F12 and their respective shift/control combinations will always work, regardless

of disable in dialogs or scroll lock setting.

Assigning Functions to hotkeys

To assign a function to a particular hotkey, record the key combination and highlight the function in

the function list. Then click Assign Function.

See hotkey functions for a more detailed explanation of the individual functions.

Assigning programs to hotkeys

It is possible to assign hotkey to a specific program (sequence, cue, cue list or background cue). To

assign a hotkey to a program, record the hotkey and select (highlight) the program in the relevant list.

Then click assign 'program'.

Saving and loading hotkey setups

Since different operators may prefer different hotkey setups, or different setups may work better in

different situations (for example programming vs. playback), it is possible to save and reload different

hotkey setups. In order to save the current setup, select Save Hotkeys from the options menu and

use the standard Windows file dialog to save the setup with a filename. To load a setup, either select

Load Hotkeys from the options menu, or select the from the Main Menu -> Setup -> Hotkeys ->

Setup menu, where up to 8 previously saved setups will appear below the Edit Hotkeys item (if any

files present).
