Short cut keys are working, but not on extended keyboard.

PostFri Nov 16, 2018 4:28 am

I have posted a reply under the short cut keys are broken.
Im posting it here to get attention so someone from Forum staff can be see it and addressed it.

I just discovered after my initial response about short cut keys.
They are actually working, but not an extended keyboard’s numeric keypad to the right.
So if I want to go to Media Page the shortcut is option 2, it works but the number 2 has to be selected on the top part of the keyboard.

I’m on an iMac 2015 built.
16 gigs Ram
3.3 GHz Intel core i7
Intel iris Pro Graphics 6200 1536
High Sierra.

Therefore it has to do with the extended Keyboard, using its right numeric keys.
There is no lock or unlock on a Mac.

Yes, I've encountered this as well. I just checked and verified that command+ zooms the timeline if you use the top row keys, but not if you use the + key on the numeric keypad of an extended keyboard. I'm just working around it for now.

I managed to get both + keys working for zoom by defining both shortcuts in the shortcut window. Keys on main keyboard and keys on numpad are handled as different keys.

As they should be.

This new design allows something I've been looking for since switching from Premiere Pro, unmodified Zoom shortcuts.

+ and - from the main keys can now be assigned to Zoom, + and - from the Numpad operate Timecode Navigation.

YES!!!

Oh, the joy was short lived.

Entering Timecode with the Numpad deselects the Timeline and selects the Program Viewer, forcing a mouse click or shortcut to get the Timeline back before unmodified Zoom can work again.

So close!

I'm having trouble with the Zoom In shortcut. I've been using Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- on the main keyboard (not the numpad) extensively in the past. DR 15.2 has broken that! Argh. Only Ctrl+- works now . . .

BMD should not have preserved the existing shortcuts with this latest release. Come on guys .. .

I spoke too soon. Restarted the app and now everything is working just fine. :)

New features and performance are nice. I Hope this fixes my Fusion crashing . . ..

I found the same. First start it didn't work. Second and all subsequent starts, it did.
