Hi there,

Just installed AM 2.0.2 (august 4 build?), and am trying to use Document Switcher, and for some reason I can't switch between documents by hitting Enter, only Ctrl + Enter...is this normal?

thanks
mark

It works with Cmd-Enter on the Mac, too. I'm guessing it's meant to do this.

Thanks....I mean, I know Ctrl-Enter is one way to switch between documents, it's the option which suppresses the "The current document has been modified, etc." dialog box, but Enter is supposed to be the equivalent of a mouse click to select a new document.

As a guitar player using AM for live processing, the fewer keys I have to hit to changes patches, the better....

I'll look into it. -- Ross.

Hi Mark. I've looked in to this further. You are right of course. The behaviour was changed since version 1 to allow the transport key shortcuts to work while the document switcher is active.

I can see the problem you're having -- its difficult for me to decide the best approach to resolving this is since I didn't take your use-case into account.

I'm reluctant to overload the enter key with two similarly destructive/music-changing actions.

Not sure if you (or anyone else) has any other thoughts or suggestions.

Ross..
