  • How to do Sonar 8s 'u' to backtrack your view in X1?

I cannot for the life of me find the X1 equivalent for Sonar 8 'u', to reverse a view command like 'fit selection to view' / SHIFT-S (now 'improved' to CTRL-ALT-H).

By "reversing a view" you mean go back to the zoom level you were before hitting 'u' (in S8)?

I know there are:

F - Resize all Tracks Vertically to fit Pane
Shift-F - Resize and zoom Tracks to see entire width
Ctrl-F - Fit Content


But something tells me I'm not really answering your question...

@samhayman.. not quite, but the effort is appreciated :-)

In Sonar 8 (and under) I would incessantly: - select a time region and n tracks
- "SHIFT-S"  - this does 'zoom to selection' (now CTRL-ALT-H I think)
- <do whatever>
- hit "u", which is like an 'undo last zoom change'.

I do this a lot and it's doing my head in not being able to find it in the help or the menus. I'll bet it's obvious when I do find it.. I didn't realise how much use of keyboard shortcuts I made until I switched.

That's the one! Hugely appreciated. I'm also interested in where you found it... I think I need to make myself a cheat sheet.

Yes I just checked - it's like FastBikerBoy said:

Alt-Z = restore view to previous state :)

Thanks for that.... <print>.

I was just looking at the key binding settings, and if you select a Function on the right it doesn't tell you which key it is currently bound to, which is a bit of a pain. It shows as '--' under Computer, which blatantly isn't true.. guess I'll go check if I'm up to date.
