Subject: important message regarding future Pro Tools features and VoiceOver
keys
Consider this a bit of a public service announcement for VoiceOver users who
use Pro Tools. There have always been several keyboard shortcuts in Pro
Tools that have conflicted with VoiceOver. They haven't been problems, per
se, as there were only a couple. Without getting into details, there are a
number of keyboard shortcuts coming up in future versions of Pro Tools that
will add to the conflicts. Yes, it's possible to pass through the key
commands but the nature of the upcoming shortcuts is such that one might
want to repeatedly use these shortcuts and passing through would be an
exercise in inefficiency.
It is for this reason especially that I'd highly recommend switching the
VoiceOver keys from Control+Option to CapsLock if you haven't already done
so. I know that quite a number of users have their settings set to use both
and some have made the full transition. I made it a point this year to make
the jump and I'm glad I did. I made the initial transition before knowing
that the upcoming Pro Tools shortcuts would conflict so I'm happy to have
made the change early on. I'd encourage users to get used to the alternative
because you'll be glad you made the switch when the time comes.
There is the one aspect of the modifier only being on the left side of the
qwerty keyboard that makes left side combinations somewhat trickier at first
but you really do get used to it quickly. When I switched over, the first
day was difficult and the second day was much easier. Within 3 days it
became easy and, at this point, I'd never go back.
I know a bunch of you have already done this so I'm just giving a heads up
to those who haven't yet made the adjustment. Getting used to it now, before
the new shortcuts are implemented, will make it easier later on.
