use of numbers to add % level...
« on: September 06, 2015, 09:04:13 AM »
Any chance of adding in the number keys 1-9 to allow quick level setting in cells

Eg highlight cell then press No2 for 20%, 4 for 40% etc etc

Each cell has an effect, which level would you be setting?

I use the number keys as part of the keybindings.xml and they are shortcuts to effects. Having the numbers do something else would not be good for me.

just the intensity of an ON effect...

An easer way to set different levels for a basic effect (esp for just single channel strings...)



looked through the key shortcuts on the wiki and numbers not utilised there so probably missed something???!!

You can always create presets and then just leave that dialog open to select cells and apply the preset you want.

You should be able to add key bindings to the file for this.  On effect with both start/end intensity at the given amount.
