One thing I’ve noticed that slows me down in working with renoise is the tabs - jumping between track DSP’s to Instrument Settings or Sample keyzones to Sample editors generally seems to require me to take my hands off the keyboard and use the mouse. Is there a solution to this? I know one way is to use the global view presets, but there’s not enough presets to capture every combination of tab options (besides, it would require less memorization if I could switch tabs directly).
Maybe there’s a trick I’m unaware of. If so, please enlighten me…
Oh, then I may have misunderstood you. The equivalent should be apple-tab (?), but seems not to be what you want… So I can only suggest to go through the list of shortcuts in Edit/Preferences/Keys, you can create shortcuts to Focus/Show different parts of renoise there (Global/View). You can also set and recall view-presets using the View-Menu and the F1-F12 Keys.
This is my preferred method. Never really liked the Global View Presets much either. Hard to find a key combination where you don’t need to do some reprogramming of other parts functions but found it worth it in the long run.
