Setting Keyboard command for Select Events to End

realhelp wrote on 4/12/2015, 12:03 AM

Hi everyone --

OK, I've had this problem before, but I'm now editing a project that requires that I use the "Select Events to End" command (in the context-sensitive menu for a specific clip) about a million times. So I would like to assign a key command to it. But when I go into the "Customize Keyboard" option in the Options menu, I cannot find this command anywhere.

Can anyone tell me where the "Select Events to End" command can be found in Customize Keyboard, and what its code-word is (e.g. "Edit.Select.EventEnd", except it's not that).

Thanks!!!

No, I don't know, but if you are willing to part with $9.95, I use VASST's Event Tools.

This sits on my Toolbar or I can summon this up with a KB Command, and it will have retained the PREVIOUS Command, here that would have been the option for all From =>> End for my Selection too.

Grazie

I do this all the time the following script. It selects all events under and to right of the cursor on all tracks. I also have scripts for selecting only events under the cursor and also events before the cursor. Very useful and a lot quicker by assigning keyboard commands. Its also a lot safer than using auto-ripple for adding or deleting events on the timeline.
