Shortcut To Tool Or Tool Dropdown

Help, Support & Bugs
1

Hey guys, hope u r enjoying the start to your year.

Is there a way that I have missed to create a shortcut to the dropdown menus?

I am used to using f keys or alt+#

Better yet, I looked through the possible shortcuts and could not find a way to add a shortcut to the scale finder tool.

Some of the other tools automatically come up when i click on a track and these same tools are listed in the possible shortcuts.

It is indeed possible that I have overlooked something.

Cheers.

It’s up to the coders of scripts to define their own shortcuts. If you want to do it yourself, add this to the bottom of main.lua in the Scale Finder script:

  
renoise.tool():add_keybinding {  
 name = "Pattern Editor:Tools:Scale finder...",  
 invoke = function(repeated)  
 if (not repeated) then  
 display()  
 end  
 end  
}

Then, go into Preferences -> Keys, look for Scale Finder, and assign a shortcut.

edit: er, just remembered my coding knowledge is limited to few html tags, therefore next to nil

Read: “How to Enable the Scripting Developer Tools in Renoise” from this page.

Once enabled, Tools -> Scripting Terminal & Editor.

Then, navigate to com.Renoise.ScaleFinder/main.lua and edit.

If ever you screw it up, just drag and drop a fresh version of the script back onto Renoise to replace your mess.

Good luck.
