39.24 Momentary Latching Shortcuts

Some shortcuts can be momentarily latched. This means you can hold down the shortcut key and briefly toggle the shortcut action. After releasing the key, Live's UI will return to its previous state. Momentary latching becomes available after holding down a shortcut key for about 500 ms. The following shortcut keys can be momentarily latched:

A toggles Arrangement automation mode
B toggles Draw Mode
S toggles soloing the selected track
Z toggles zooming into the Arrangement selection
F1 through F8 toggle the Track Activator switch on and off for the first eight tracks
Tab toggles between Arrangement and Session View

If needed, momentary latching can be turned off using the Options.txt entry: -DisableHotKeyLatching

You can navigate through most of Live's menus, views and controls using the computer keyboard.

The Navigate menu in Live's menu bar contains commands for moving keyboard focus to different areas of the UI, as well as options for using Tab to navigate between controls. Additional navigation commands can also be found in the Display & Input Settings.

When the Use Tab to Move Focus option is enabled, the Tab key can be used to navigate in the following ways:

Tab moves to the next control
Shift Tab moves to the previous control

The Tab key can also be used to navigate between controls in the Session and Arrangement mixers via these shortcuts:

Ctrl Tab (Win) / Option Tab (Mac) moves to the next control in the same row
Ctrl Shift Tab (Win) / Option Shift Tab (Mac) moves to the previous control in the same row

When Use Tab to Move Focus is off, pressing the Tab key will switch between Session and Arrangement View, as in previous Live versions.

In addition to using Tab to move focus, the following navigation options are also available:

Wrap Tab Navigation - When this option is enabled, navigating with Tab will not stop at the last control in a focused view, but will navigate back to the first control. If the first control is selected, using Shift Tab will navigate to the last control. This option can be enabled via the Navigate menu or the Display & Input Settings.
Move Clips with Arrow Keys - This option is enabled by default, and lets you use the left and right arrow keys to move selected clips and/or the time selection in Arrangement View. This behavior can be switched off in the Display & Input Settings if needed. When off, pressing the left arrow key collapses the time selection to the start point, while pressing the right arrow key collapses the time selection to the end point.

The Tab and Shift Tab keys can be used to navigate between options inside the Settings tabs. These shortcuts work regardless of whether the Use Tab to Move Focus option is active or not.

When a command is focused in any of the Settings tabs, the up and down arrow keys can be used to change the state of a toggle, make value adjustments, or cycle through the available options for a given command. It is also possible to use the Enter key to switch between toggle states.

To navigate between the different tabs in the Settings Page Chooser, use Ctrl Tab (Win) / Option Tab (Mac) and Ctrl Shift Tab (Win) / Option Shift Tab (Mac) or the up and down arrow keys when the chooser is focused. If the keyboard focus is on the first control of any given Settings tab, use the Shift Tab shortcut to return the focus to the Settings Page Chooser.

39.26 Accessing Menus

On Windows, you can access each menu by pressing Alt and the first letter of the menu ( Alt F for "File," for instance). While a menu is open, you can use:

The up and down arrow keys to navigate the menu items.
The right and left arrow keys to open the neighboring menu.
Enter to choose a menu item.

On Mac, you can access individual menu entries by pressing Cmd ?. This opens a search field that will suggest menu entries as you type. You can navigate the suggested options by pressing the up and down arrow keys and then press Enter to choose one.

A context menu is available in different areas of Live for quick access to commonly used menu items and actions. To access the context menu, right-click(Win) / Ctrl-click(Mac) on the part of the interface where you would like to execute a particular command. The context menu can also be opened using the shortcut Menu or Shift F10 on Windows or VO Shift M on Mac. It is worth noting that the context menu may sometimes contain applicable options from Live's Settings. You should change these options with care, as they will affect not only the currently selected item but also the general settings of the program.

Some commands only appear in the context menu. Among these are: various options for working with the browser, special grid marker commands for directing Auto-Warp, detailed options for zoom-adaptive and fixed grid line width, copying and pasting for Operator's envelopes and oscillators, and numerous device-specific commands.
