Key Commands That Include Shift Dont Work As Advertised

Key commands for “Play Pattern from Current Line” says Shft-RAlt on mac renoise 2. Problem is every press of shift plays the pattern back from the start and/or every press of RAlt plays the pattern from the start, at no time has pressing these two keys together ever resulted in the pattern playing from where I am in the pattern.

Same applies for the advertised key command “Pause/Continue” which reckons to be ignited by Shift-Space. However, pressing shift plays the whole pattern from start, back to the same problem. The “space” part never even makes it.

I have no way of continuing a song from where it is or playing back a pattern from where I am located in it. Quite aggravating, if I’m editing a patten at line 80 of a 128 line pattern I have to always play the whole pattern back from the start. I’ve been composing tracks with this annoyance for a while and it’s getting tiresome, any ideas?

tx in advance.

the Right Shift (RShift) key is assigned to “Record Song” functionality, while the Left Shift (LShift) acts as the standard Shift key. this is an old tracker heritage and, although you can redefine RShift behavior by assigning the “Record Song” function to another task, you cannot treat RShift as a standard modifier key, so you have to use the Left Shift key whenever “Shift” is referenced in Renoise shortcuts list
