never mind, it looks like its happening again. i press esc and the whole thing starts scrolling down really quickly regardless if im pressing notes or not. resetting the edit step back to 0 also doesnt seem to work anymore.
Are able to install OBS or similar and screen record, or even record the screen with your phone so we can assist you better?
What’s your system? Apple? Someone had a similar problem. Btw, Apple sucks.
What’s your type of keyboard? MIDI? What happens if you unplug it and plug it again?
Do your keyboard has got a stuck key maybe? Do you have the same issues outside of Renoise?
Can you post a GIF showing your issue?
Some things you need to know:
Esc = activate/deactivate edit mode
Space bar = starts/stops the song (press it in case you want the song/pattern to stop immediately)
right Alt = starts the current pattern
the symbol that @BriocheBaps mentioned = pattern scrolling
left Ctrl + chosen number = edit step (DOES NOT work with the numpad)

That isnt in any way normal behaviour, i do seem to recall the thread @TNT mentions. Something is stuck yes, i dont use Apple so in terms of updates/drivers etc. Im not sure if such things apply. Is a separate keyboard plugged in as well as the built in one? Ill try to find that thread.
Seems to be same issue, not sure if it was addressed. Are you using the demo? @taktik is this a known bug on Mac?
no, unfortunately not. this is the full licensed version of renoise.
I knew it…
Yes, that’s definitely not a normal behavior. You’re right @BriocheBaps, it might be the same issue. It scrolls through the whole song in warp speed after activating edit mode AND seemingly copies the cursor position to every step. If you ask me, this weird issue has something to do with Apple, just like other issues that Renoise users do have if using Apple. What’s your Renoise version? 3.4.3? Do you have the same issue while running a previous Renoise version? What happens if you’re using for example 3.4.1 instead? If nothing helps, personally I would deinstall and reinstall Renoise again and look what’s up.
I’m sorry, but I cannot help more, I’ve never used Apple for music production because it simply sucks imo. Nevertheless I hope an Apple enthusiast that’s using Renoise or @taktik can help you out. Good luck!
Escape can be a special key on various systems i guess.
As soon as I started using Renoise the first key I remapped was ‘Toggle Edit’.
Basically so it is more like Fasttracker 2; but also may avoid using a ‘special key’ like ‘win’ ‘apple’ ‘esc’, etc…

I try really hard to reproduce this situation, and I can’t get it. You have probably a keyboard shortcut conflict (between general OS settings and Renoise itself). But I have never problems with Renoise on Mac(s) and I use standard config of shortcuts in Renoise (with a few extra added for some options). The only limitation (if it is a problem) I found is lack of numeric part on the keyboard on MacBooks (and Raspberry Pi), and which is very handy for Renoise (as it is configured by default). … … Do you use Renoise natively (for Silicon) or in Rosetta 2 (Intel emulation) mode? (I use everything native, for sure).

Whaaaaaaat?! And somehow I didn’t realize it for all those years since version 3? 
Thanks, switched immediately! 
That’s quite a good approach! Now that you mention it… Not sure if I remember correctly, but I believe once there was someone with a similar problem on Mac and that was caused by that key. @tunesz should give it a try and check what happens after changing the assignment, just like you did. And surely what @Tomek says also makes sense. The question is how to find out what key assignment could cause the problem.
thanks for the recommendations, but unfortunately ft2 mode, or changing the button assignment still makes it scroll. i have also closed all other apps to make sure that theres no conflict but its still there. i’ll try to follow @TNT 's advice and delete and reinstall the app to see if its still there.
Delete the App AND also the file KeyBindings.xslt in:
~/your_home/Library/Application Support/Renoise/[version]/Stylesheets/
OR EVEN just delete this file only first, and run Renoise again (so it will bring its default config file for KeyBindings).
To go to Library (because it is hidden folder) use Go menu in Finder and press Shift+Option so the menu item will appear.
one weird thing:
there seems to be two buttons for toggling edit mode? could this be the problem?
another thing is that im using a m2 mac and 3.4.3 is m1 only??? could that be the reason for this glitch?
Id love to help more but i don’t know anything about mac. I tagged @taktik as he is the developer of Renoise to see if it is a known bug. Perhaps submit a support ticket in backstage. Its unfortunate that this is your first experience with Renoise, hopefully it gets sorted soon for you.
thank you very much. you and everyone else have helped tremendously in understanding the problem. ill go ahead and make the ticket, thanks again!!
It’s a weird problem indeed, and a pity that this is your first experience of Renoise.
As others have said, this isn’t normal behaviour: What type of keyboard is connected to this mac?
If you have a MIDI keyboard connected, please try disconnecting it to see if this is what causing this.
If you’ve got another keyboard to test with, try that too.
Does entering text within Renoise work normally for you?
hello, there is no other keyboard or midi connected to my mac. im using this on a macbook air.
side note: i was trying to screenshot something to clarify if adding text to renoise meant stuff like adding delay or volume, but now the command for screenshotting instead makes this thing go haywire. it just starts adding more sections. also, i had never added this button reassignment, but pressing spacebar also toggles edit mode now?
