24.0 Keybindings

The keybindings window allows you to assign shortcut keys to all of the functions available in Mixbus.

There are many more operations than keys available, so you will see some commands that do not have keys assigned. Because Mixbus operations are not shown in the same order that they appear in the Mixbus main menu, finding the correct operation can sometimes be a challenge.

%Note: Because keyboards differ, you may not be able to map every key to a function, nor will the key shortcut text match your expectations. Mixbus is a cross-platform application, and it works on laptops and desktop sys-

tems with various keyboard layouts. It is also multi-language capable, and supports a wide range of international keyboards. This can make keybindings quite a complicated issue. If you are having problems, please contact Harrison with your questions.

To assign a keybind- ing to an operation, click on the operation, then press the key that you want to bind to that operation.

Remove shortcut: select the operation and click "Remove shortcut" to clear out any existing binding
