11.1.83 Definition of shortcut(s)
This dialog allows you to define your own customized shortcut(s) for a particular function
(selected from Customize Commands). These custom shortcuts can save you time and
speed up your workflow in WaveLab.
You can define a shortcut using a:
Key sequence - any existing keyboard shortcut is displayed in the first keystroke field
and can be overwritten. There are some standard shortcuts that cannot be redefined;
in this case the related edit fields are disabled. Each shortcut is restricted to a specific
Workspace, so you can use the same shortcut in different Workspaces.
Press the key combination you wish to use and it will be displayed. If a keyboard shortcut
is already used by another command, a warning is given. Use the Clear button to erase any
shortcut entries already present.
There are additional spaces to allow you to define sequences containing up to four key
strokes. Please note these keys must be pressed/released one after the other, and the
action is performed when the last key has been pressed.
Keyword - enter a keyword which you can later use to activate the command by typing
it into the Keyword field command bar.
MIDI event sequence - use an external MIDI device (such as a MIDI keyboard or
dedicated control surface) to define a sequence of up to three MIDI events. First you
need to select the MIDI interface for incoming messages. Press the key or button on
your MIDI device and the corresponding MIDI event number will be displayed. You
can define a sequence by continuing to input further MIDI messages. You could use a
Program or Bank change message as a "modifier", for example.
Defining MIDI shortcuts can be useful if you want to use your external MIDI device to control
the transport in WaveLab, for example. You can also use your external MIDI device to control
