For this reason, we encourage you to use the Export feature to prepare a backup archive of your
painstakingly designed macros. (This is quite easy to do, since Export of entire folders is supported, as is
multi-selection.)
17.4 SHORTCUTS AND TRIGGERS
Macros may be executed by menu, keystroke shortcuts, MIDI controller or GPI trigger.
Figure 174
You can readily see the first shortcut assigned to a macro at right in its entry in the lister. (As mentioned
earlier, you’ll also see a ‘star’ gadget at right. Click this to add the macro to the Favorites menu, shown
when you click directly on the Macro control in the Dashboard. )
Figure 175
To set a new shortcut or modify an existing one, click one of the Shortcut fields in the footer of the Macro
Configuration Editor panel; it will display a “Listening …” tag. Then press the desired keystroke (or control
surface Macro button combination).
Hint: For clarity, lower-case characters are shown as capitals. True upper-case letters are displayed in the
form [Shift + (character)].
Shortcuts are ‘per user’, allowing you to employ your personal favorites without conflicting with the
shortcut preferences of other users. Speaking of conflicts, note that assigning a single shortcut
combination to multiple macros is supported.
