[SOLVED] How do I set a shortcut for "Insert a new sample"?

[esaruoho]

i’m wondering what the shortcut for this is? if there’s no shortcut, is there a way of doing it from the LUA API?

Should do the trick as long keyboard focus has been given to the sample area

@esaruoho

if there’s no shortcut, is there a way of doing it from the LUA API?

Seems ‘Insert’ keybinding is bound to the widget in the child frame.
Yes you can add keybindings to tools:

** renoise.tool():add_keybinding(keybinding_definition_table)

** Renoise Lua API

solved it.

renoise.song().instruments[renoise.song().selected_instrument_index]:insert_sample_at(1)

is the way of inserting a new sample at.
thanks, @Jek

While not personally interested in Renoise LUA. Something like this perhaps.

I would try Retrieving and Printing the several ‘keybinding_definition_tables’.
Then use the ‘add_keybinding’ Method to create the Callback Function.

i have it working rn:

function addSampleSlot(amount)
for i=1,amount do
renoise.song().instruments[renoise.song().selected_instrument_index]:insert_sample_at(i)
end
end

renoise.tool():add_keybinding{name="Global:Paketti:Add Sample Slot to Instrument", invoke=function() addSampleSlot(1) end}
renoise.tool():add_keybinding{name="Global:Paketti:Add 84 Sample Slots to Instrument", invoke=function() addSampleSlot(84) end}

one creates one slot, one creates 84 slots (that’s the max that drumkit apparently wants to have…

it’s better to have a global shortcut that works everywhere. as i do now, thanks y’all for the help!
