I’ve just switched from a desktop PC to a Macbook Air M2 with a French AZERTY keyboard and no external mouse and I’m a bit lost with the keyboard shortcuts
I run Renoise and MacOS latest versions.
First, if I go to help menu / list keyboard shortcuts, Safari opens a local file (file:///Users/geoffroy/Library/Preferences/Renoise/V3.4.4/KeyBindings.xml) but the file is blank ? If I open this file on Firefox it’s a long list not formatted and unreadable.
Could someone help me with the basic shortcuts ?
Unfortunately that help feature seems broken with modern browsers.
Btw, the Keys section in Settings has a nice search feature for shortcuts, though it’s sometimes hard to guess the right name. I’ll provide the names in case you need to rebind them:
Jump to Row 0/16/32/48: F9/F10/F11/F12. Disregard the name, they work with different pattern sizes. Since macOS binds F11 by default you might have to edit your macOS or Renoise shortcuts.
Focus/Show Pattern Editor is unbound by default, but F1 (Recall View Preset 1) will do this with the default preset.
Focus/Show Pattern Sequencer is unbound by default. An alternative is Show/Hide Pattern Matrix (Opt-M) plus Focus Next/Previous View (Opt-Tab / Shift-Opt-Tab)
Play Pattern: RAlt (i.e. Right ⌘). Personally I find it easier just to use Space (Play/Stop/Edit).
I’m not aware of a shortcut to play a song from the start. You can use Go to Sequence Start (⌘-Home) then Play Pattern.
Hey ! thanks a lot, that’s very helpful.
For those who find this thread, you must press the fn key together with the function F1…F12 key to bypass the system shortcuts. And you have to disable Mission Control shortcuts in System Preferences.
Good evening !
