EDIT 11/4/2013: Note this is an old X1-based thread brought back to life after three years with post #10.
 
F9/F10 have been From/Thru = Now since Cakewalk 1.0 for DOS! I am not about to try to unlearn that habit now after 22 years! And they unbound Ctrl-F9 and Ctrl-F10 from From = Beginning and Thru=End, but then didn't use them for anything else...?
 
Likewise F7/F8 have been Go to From/Thru for as long as I can remember, and I use them all the time to go to the beginning or end of a selected note or clip.
 
Some of these changes are just nutty for oldtimers like me. It's all fixable, of course, by setting custom bindings, but I think there definitely should have been an option to revert X1 to traditional shortcut conventions. I'm trying to keep an open mind to the changes, but some of them are really not working for me.
 
I especially don't understand the shortcut keys that were unbound, and then not re-used for something else (Ctrl-M, and Shift-A are two more).
 
This interface has turned me into Larry, Moe and Curly all rolled into one.

  Smart tools my man, c'mon lol

M, and F11 threw me ... for a bit

 


Yeah, what would  life be without smart tools!

Yeah, this is driving me nuts.  I'm really, really trying to do things the X1 way.  They changed F7 and F8 functions to shift-g and ctrl-g, but they're broken.  Try it out, I get all sorts of strange results, including a "search" function that can't find any events!

I still haven't found the replacements for F9, F10.  I may just have to revert my keybindings back to how things used to be.

I used the line tool a lot in Pro Audio 9, I understand from watching a video...they now use a shift key to use the line tool in editing velocity. (Can't remember which key it is) I liked the old way because I could make changes with just the mouse. Now, I have to use both hands.  anyway we could get the old line tool back? I'm lazy and just want to use the mouse...

I think the dev kit template they used was for meant day trading.

They changed F7 and F8 functions to shift-g and ctrl-g, but they're broken.

 
I checked this out. Shift-G works as expected. Help says Ctrl-G is Now=Thru, but keybindings shows it's Search Next, which is indeed what it does.
 
I just re-bound the old shotcuts, and everything seems fine.

I've had F9 and F10 changed to just the numerals 1 and 2 for a very long time.  I know I'm gonna have to relearn an awful lot.  But it does look like the new keybindings are more intuitive.  Heck I don't even use most of the key-bindings because I forget em right after I use them.  But this times gonna be different...I swear...this time....you'll see...it's gonna be a brand new bright sunshiney world...with rainbows and lollipops and unicorns!!  Lots of unicorns!!

maybe there is also a very intelligent reason we are not aware of why they changed the function of "ctrl+m" to "shift+m" ? 
 
LOL
