Quitting & Saving in Standalone Mode
The following commands apply when Maschine is running as a standalone application. We plan to
enable some of this from the keyboard in a future release:
• To launch the Save As dialog, press Command + Shift + S (macOS) / Ctrl + Shift + S
(Windows). This is a system dialog, and so can be navigated and read by screen readers.
• To launch the Open dialog, press Command + O (macOS) / Ctrl + O (Windows). This is also a
system dialog. Note that projects can be opened from the Browser by setting Filetype to
‘Project’.
• If the current project has no unsaved changes, pressing Command + Q (macOS) / Alt + F4
(Windows) will quit Maschine.
• On macOS, if the current project has unsaved changes, pressing Command + Q will launch a
Quit dialog which is not screen readable. Pressing Esc will dismiss the dialog and go back to
Maschine. Please note that it is not possible to quit Maschine when there are unsaved
changes.
