Keyboard Shortcuts In Pattern Sequencer Don't Work

Help, Support & Bugs
1

Not sure if this is a bug or not.

If I right click on a pattern, the keyboard shortcuts for some options either don’t work, or affect the pattern editor, not the sequencer.

Here’s just a few that I tested, didn’t try every option in the menu:

apple J: Join (shortcut does nothing)
apple D: Duplicate (shortcut duplicates a track in the pattern editor, not the sequencer block)
apple K: Clone (shortcut does nothing)
apple U: Make unique (shortcut does nothing)

Is there a trick to using those shortcuts, or is it a bug?

I’m on 10.4.11 and 1.9.1 by the way.

There are two kind of Keyboard shortcuts in Renoise: Globals and “locals”. The global ones apply everywhere, the local ones only on the focused parts of the interface. Please see http://tutorials.renoise.com/Renoise/LearningTheKeys (Keyboard Focus Concept)

We will try to make this more clear in future releases. You are not the first who got confused by this.
