I seem to remember that this is working for some But it was not working in X3 for me and still is not in Platinum...
 
I double checked and the key is assigned to the enable task, but it is not working...

You've mentioned this repeatedly, and I've never been able to reproduce what I think it is you're trying to do. I need a better description of the problem. Can you describe exactly what you want to do and what you try to do to accomplish it?

Thanks Craig...

A simple thing that has always worked before ... I'm just trying to use the N key to enable/disable snap while editing MIDI...

It is still set to the default which is what I want (thankfully the Bakers changed the default key back to N) but it does nothing in the PRV... I tried manually setting the command back in X3e, but that didn't help either... I must mouse my way back and forth... Painstaking for the editing I do...

Hey Keni, the N key has always worked for me in PRV to toggle on/off snap. (X3 and Platinum)
I had a look, and with no project loaded, my N key (in Preferences, Keyboard shortcuts) says "Not Assigned"
When I load a project the N key assignment becomes "Snap Toggle Extended"
 
Is this the same for you ?
 
If you do a search for "Snap Toggle Extended" key assignment, there isn't one
Makes me wonder if the N key shortcut is a setting saved within projects ?

Hi noynekker...

Yes, it's the same for me though I haent looked without a project loaded..

There is not a snap toggle extended, but there is a snap enable/disable available in PRV. I tried that too, but it didn't change anything...

Keni, just to clarify . . . when you hit the N key, does the Snap module on your control bar highlight, or not ?

Are you talking about how close you have to move the note to the snap boundary to get it to stick? If so that's a magnetic strength issue which you can fix by right-clicking the snap button and increasing the strength. If you're talking about adjusting the prv snap settings independently then you'd look in the prv header under options/snap settings. If you're talking about snap settings not being retained at different zoom levels, then you click the snap value selector and uncheck smart snap.
Honestly I'm with Craig and not sure what your exact problem is but I'm going to guess it's one of the three above.

No, it does not in PRV though it does in TV...

I'm sorry if I gavent been clear... I thought this pretty easy to understand...

The N key has been returned as the default keyboard shortcut to enable/disable snap to grid.

It is working fine in TV, but not working in PRV... When I press the N key in PRV, the enable button does not change nor does the actual change of snap enable/disable...

I don't use th PRV in multidock... It opens as a separate full screen PRV...I forget the 3 letter acronym for this "mode"

Keni

Do you get this behaviour in all you projects, old and new ?
I'm wondering if you start a brand new project, does the N key Snap toggle on/off work in your PRV ?
