Keyboard shortcuts..?

Postby tyler durden » Thu Mar 31, 2011 5:47 pm

Maybe its because im working on a 13" laptop but in the control room, ive noticed when you hover over functions like 'scroll with mouse' etc it offers a 'command' keyboard shortcut to activate.

However on my screen all i get is
"Dolly by mouse + command symbol+ ..."

Letting me know there is a 'command' + (keyboard letter) shortcut to switch between controls but i cant for the life of me find where all these shortcuts are listed. Just wanted to know if there was another way i could find out what all these beautiful shortcuts are or whether connecting to a bigger monitor would help.

Cheers

That's not a keyboard shortcut. When the help tag ends with a command symbol and an ellipsis, it means that if you push the command key while the help tag is showing, then you'll see a more verbose help tag.

There are keyboard shortcuts for some of the controls. If you go to the Tools menu and look at the "Numeric Control Dialogs" and "Throttle Modes" submenus, you see menu items with keyboard shortcuts. (Beware, Apple has stolen some of the keyboard shortcuts.) For example, if you type F7, you'll see a red highlight around the pan/tilt throttle. When that highlight is there, you can control pan/tilt with the arrow keys, with shift and command modifying the speed of motion.
