Loading earlier key commands settings
If you have saved key commands settings with an earlier program version, it is
possible to use them in this Cubase version, by using the “Import Key Command
File” function, which lets you load and apply saved key commands.
PROCEDURE
1. Open the Key Commands dialog.
2. Click the “Import Key Command File” button to the right of the Presets
pop-up menu.
A standard file dialog opens.
3. In the file dialog, use the “Files of type” pop-up menu to specify if you want to
import a key commands file (“.key”) or a macro commands file (extension
“.mac”).
When you have imported an older file, you might want to save it as a preset (see
above) to be able to access it from the Presets pop-up menu in the future.
4. Navigate to the file you want to import and click “Open”.
The file is imported.
5. Click OK to exit the Key Commands dialog and apply the imported settings.
The settings in the loaded key commands file or macros file now replace the current
settings.
About the Reset and Reset All functions
These two buttons in the Key Commands dialog will both restore the default
settings. The following rules apply:
• “Reset” will restore the default key command setting for the function selected
in the Commands list.
• “Reset All” will restore the default key commands for all commands.
IMPORTANTIMPORTANTIMPORTANTIMPORTANT
Note that the “Reset All” operation will cause any changes made to the default key
commands to be lost! If you want to be able to revert to these settings again, make
sure to save them first!
