One advantage of this approach is that it requires no extra software, and is free! Since OS 10.3 'Panther', Mac OS X has included what some would describe as a hidden feature which makes it possible to add your own keyboard shortcuts to menu items, either globally or on an application–specific basis. Fortunately, there are 'unofficial' ways around these restrictions, and in this month's Pro Tools workshop we're going to explore the options that are available if you want to add your own keyboard shortcuts or macro functionality to Pro Tools. This approach has its advantages - you'll never find yourself at a loss as to how to use someone else's Pro Tools system - but some users find its inflexibility frustrating. Nor is it possible to reassign shortcuts within Pro Tools, or create macros to implement complex operations with one keyboard shortcut. Over the years, Digidesign have added more and more keyboard shortcuts to Pro Tools, but there is still no option to have different profiles for different users. Pro Tools doesn't officially support macros or assignable keyboard shortcuts, but with a little know–how and a copy of QuicKeys, you can use custom key commands to bring up anything from simple menu items to complex chains of commands.
