Subject:RE: You cant define your own keyboard commands??!! Reply by: J. Date:10/26/2012 11:30:59 AM OSX does have a keyboard navigation facility for menus similar to Alt+pneumonics in Windows. It's not great, but it does work with Sound Forge for Mac. In General Preferences->Keyboard: - Keyboard tab: select your preferred mode for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys". If disabled, you'll have to use the Fn key along with the F2 key below. - Keyboard Shortcuts tab: select "Keyboard & Text" and enable "Move focus to the menu bar" (default is ^F2) Now Normalize (for example) can be instantiated via: ^F2, P, down arrow, N, Return. Again, not great, but that's the built-in OSX method if you are feeling particularly mouse/trackpad averse. Normalize and several other processes also appear in the Plug-In Chooser tool. You can double-click it in there to instantiate if you are feeling particularly menu-averse. J. Message last edited on10/26/2012 11:58:04 AM byJ..
Subject:RE: You cant define your own keyboard commands??!! Reply by: StudioM Date:3/30/2015 5:25:29 AM I agree, this would save me a huge amount of time. This should be a standard feature in a pro audio editor! I am now using SF Pro Mac 2.5 and there is still no option to define a keyboard shortcut for this command. Surely all major functions should have a customisable keyboard shortcut? Please include in the next update.
