Everybody knows it’s Ctrl+Q for Quit innit? 
Also, the tracker shortcuts evolved from before an application could be quit… one could only just ‘shut down’ the system and switch the floppy or tape for another application. 
(Why would you exit?)
Hey buddy, don’t assume so much… i’m one of those who have been around tracking over twenty years back and i’m still using Renoise.
+1 (mentally disabled are welcome as well)
I’m actually a little scared to share this with the whole community. But… I’m disabled. I have a more aggressive type of this disease: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charcot-Marie-Tooth_disease
It affects my feet, hands and spine. I have actually become quite crippled from it. It limits my ability to walk, play sports, do certain types of work/jobs, and has caused a lot of discrimination against me, because I’m actually very apparently crippled from it. ie… If you see me in person, you think, “cripple.”
I do my music production mostly with the mouse. The mouse is much easier for me to use. And actually, I prefer desktop computers, rather than laptops. Some laptop keyboards, are difficult for me to type on; especially if the keyboard is very small. Smart phones are very difficult for me to type and text on, and I can only make short messages.
One of the reasons, I was interested in Renoise for iPad, was because of touch screen. I actually like touch screens a lot -> ( except for typing ) But now that I have been working on my new desktop, I think I’d like to see touch screen on my desktop.
I use my keyboard to enter notes, volume, delay, fx in the pattern. Almost everything else I do in Renoise, or any other DAW is with the mouse. If I thought, there was one thing, that would make Renoise more accessible to me, it would be touch screen. Its not a feature request. But you guys asked. Those are my thoughts.
That said… So far I have not found something in Renoise that I can not access. The high contrast themes available make everything very crystal clear. The new infrared computer mice and trackpads are very good. I like them better than old mice. I am wondering though, what my experience with the software would be, if I were more keyboard oriented…
Anyways, that is my share… 
Because of discrimination I have found here on Earth, I thought about PM’ing this to the admins, but for the community to know. “Are any disabled using Renoise?” The answer is yes. And the software is very much appreciated too.
cheers
Thanks for sharing. It’s good to hear that you’re still able to use Renoise and be creative with it, even if it can be a little bit tricky sometimes. 
i’ll tell you why.
alt-f4 in impulsetracker, screamtracker, schismtracker, is “mute channel#4”.
if we have alt-f1, f2, f3, f5, f6, f7, f8, f9, f10, f11, f12… to mute channels, and alt-f4 to quit… then what is the logic? there’s no logic. this isn’t a windows software, this is a tracker.
i mapped a few quit shortcuts on my osx, such as ctrl-q (similar to screamtracker,schismtracker,impulsetracker). im not asking them to be global or native renoise, as people use ctrl-q for something else. deal with it. make your ultimate keybindings xml and save it on your drive.
Think about F1 opening a new browser window with the .chm Renoise manual .
Let me be the second. I often want, for example, to open a recently loaded or saved file. It’s tedious to have to click on the File menu then navigate to those options.
One of the first things I did was (re)map a shortcut to close Renoise.
I’ve looked to see where I can assign a shortcut for “open recently saved” and “open recently loaded” but cannot find them.
Can someone tell me where to look in the keyboard bindings? Searching on “load” and “open” doesn’t get it for me; searching on “recent” returns nothing.
Is it even possible to assign a shortcut to get the File (or any) menu to drop down and get keyboard focus?
preferences -> keys -> Override window manager shortcuts
…doesn’t this have any kind of significance?
oh, +1 about a shortcut for popping down the menus and giving focus. This could be pretty useful.
Not for the File menu.
It might if there was a keyboard shortcut for a File menu option that collided with a window manager shortcut, but there’s no shortcut for “Open recently saved” anyway.
i understand your handicxap i works with person wit a handicap me i have just a mental handicap(it’s not better i can assure to you i’m schizophrene 
Ah, well this is indeed super bad!
I got an exception after I bound a key combo to the top-level “recently ooaded” list; maybe I’ll look at the code to see why it is doing math against nil (that was the gist of the error).
Thanks!
Oops, that might be a bug that only appears when installing… I would hope. Definitely type the message over or copy/paste from Renoise log, if you see it again and have the time. Thanks! Hope it works now.
The problem is the script has a hard-coded path separator that assumes Windows.
There are two places that use “\” when splitting a string. That fails on my Ubuntu install.
I replaced those references with a variable that I set at the top of the script …
local path_slash = "/"
… and all was good.
What’s needed is a way to set this based on the user’s OS.
EDIT:
I think this will work (I grabbed it from the Duplex code but have not yet tried it on Windows)
local path_slash = "/"
if (os.platform() == "WINDOWS") then
path_slash = "\\"
end
BTW, sweet tool. Really helpful. Thank you for this.
Thanks for the report and fix! Will update on git right away.
I couldn’t live without it as soon as I coded it, had to share it. Don’t forget you can always thank me via paypal
The day someone would find even mine, i will let you have some of the share
Lol. I meant to put it in smallsize letters. I’m not gonna wait for that tho lemme get ma money in otha wayz.
If there is a shortcut for quitting Renoise, wouldn’t it be just as sensible to have one that will start it? I can’t find any.
If you’re on Windows, AutoHotKey to the rescue:
#r::Run "C:\Program Files\Renoise 2.8.1\Renoise.exe"
Win-R now opens Renoise.

(Maybe modify the path to the .exe as needed)
