Hi, guys hope you have a solution for me with the following problem. I constantly have to switch between Normal Edit Tool and Time Stretch/Compress tool, i've set a shorctut of Ctrl+D for normal and Ctrl+F for Time Stretch/Compress tool. Whenever i click Ctrl+D nothing happens and the tool stays on Time Stretch/Compress Tool. So i have to take my mouse and select "normal edit tool" then i CAN click Ctrl+F and go to Time Stretch but not the other way around........ I use this constantly and its probably now taken weeks of my life over the years............................. Im sooooooooooooooo sick of not able to switch back to normal with a shortcut. Are there any tricks i can use to be able to switch? Thank you

Ctrl-D is the default for the Normal Edit Tool, so you must have created the Ctrl-F. (for time stretch, you normally just hold the CTRL key down while moving the edge of the event). The Ctrl-D function works fine here. I know that doesn't help you but you might check your Customize Keyboard and make sure that Ctrl-D is still assigned. Please show a screen capture of the customize and maybe we can see something out of the ordinary.

+1. Rate stretch tool only works on edges, so there seems little point in doing anything else.

I can confirm that, CTRL+D doesn’t work on my Surface with the Surface keyboard. I haven’t checked my workstation, still traveling, but if it works fine there, it might just be keyboard driver issue?

I see you are using the customized keyboard and as you will find, it is a bit flaky sometimes. Ctrl-D does not show up on the GLOBAL tab under the default keyboard. And when you look at Trackview, it is greyed out because it is a default. If you assigned it manually (which you don't need to do), it probably is confused. You might try loading the default to see if it comes back, and you could try deleting the option to see if it goes back to default. Look under your trackview and see if it is GREYED. You may have to only delete the Global option.
