You can assign key commands to most operations that can be performed via the standalone panel of The Grand. The Key Commands dialog lists all available commands and any key commands assigned to them.

The commands are arranged in a hierarchical folder structure, similar to the Windows Explorer and Mac OS Finder. When you open a category folder by clicking the plus sign beside it, the items and functions are displayed with any currently assigned key commands.

Procedure

  1. In the top left corner of the standalone panel, click on the button to the right of the MIDI input pop-up menu.
    1 Click here to open the Key Commands dialog.

    The Key Commands dialog opens.

  2. In the Commands list to the left, select a category.
  3. Click the plus sign to open the category folder and display the items it contains.
    Note

    Note that you can also click the “global” plus and minus signs in the top left corner to open and close all category folders at once.

  4. In the list, select the item to which you want to assign a key command.
    Note

    • Already assigned key commands are shown in the Keys column as well as in the Keys section in the top right corner.

    • You can also search for a specific function by entering its name in the search field at the top of the dialog and clicking the search button (the magnifying glass button).

  5. When you have found and selected the desired item, click in the “Type in Key” field and enter a new key command.
    Note

    You can choose any single key or a combination of one or several modifier keys ([Alt]/[Option], [Ctrl]/[Command], [Shift]) plus any key.

  6. Click the Assign button above the field to assign the key command to the function.

    The new key command is displayed in the Keys list.

  7. Click OK to close the dialog.
    Note

    • If a key command is already used for another function, a message is displayed allowing you to reassign the key command or cancel the operation.

    • You can set up several key commands for the same function.

    • To delete a key command, select the corresponding command, select the key command in the Keys list and click the Delete button (the trash icon).
