Resolve 17 customize keyboard and mouse commands

PostMon May 17, 2021 8:34 am

Hello, I wonder whether there is a way to customize the scroll behavior, for example. I would like to have horizontal scroll with Shift+Mouse Wheel and vertical scroll with just Mouse Wheel. Because now the Shift+Mouse Wheel is track height which is kind of not that important in my workflow and so far I have not been able to find a way to customize the mouse behavior. Also, why do I need to press another button when entering the timecode? Sounds counterproductive to me. Why does BMD changed the scroll behavior and timecode entry? Does someone know the reason behind those changes?

Thank you for help:)

Mouse actions aren't customizable.

That said, there is an option under the View menu called Enable 2D timeline scroll. This option will change scrolling behavior somewhat, so play with that.

Hello Jim, thank you for tip, I know about Enable 2D timeline scroll, but unfortunately it does not provide the same functionality I was used to at V16 without it being enabled. I'm just puzzled why would you change something that works well with something different without apparent reason. Was there some research on what functions are most used by users? Or some poll? I think that working efficiently is really important and changing the workflow for no reason creates a feeling that we decided to change it just for the sake of change...

If nothing else, just let there be an option for better control customization, please.

There is a separate forum for Feature Requests.

viewforum.php?f=33

Best practice is to search first, to see if someone already asked. If not, post one idea per thread with a very brief description of the idea in the thread's title.

I've started a thread about keyboard shortcut. There might be one for mouse shortcuts. Give it a search.
