Shortcut for Mute single Clip Selection

(Vegas Pro 16, Build 361)

So right now i am using it that option with 'Right-Mouseclick -> Switch -> Mute'.
What i want to do is simple, just mute the single selected (yellow frame around the selection) clip, either Video or Audio, and only that selected part, so that effects it exactly only that part without muting the linked/grouped audio/video.

I looked up in the shortcuts to assign it, but it seems i am not able to find which exact options in this BIG jungle of executable functions it is. A search for 'mute' did not really help. When i assigned to those operations who contained 'mute' i just managed to shortcute the mote for the whole layer/track which is currently selected.

If somebody knows how to assign the mute function for only the yellow selected segment, i would like to get helped.

If possible post please a picture how exactly it is labeled in the assignable shortcut list.

thanks

Yup I desperately searched for that one too the other day...for obscure reasons, some functions in Vegas apparently can't be key commanded, just like the much needed " selectively paste event attributes".

xberk, I tried that, it won‘t mute the event but the whole track. We need the mute at switch level.

YEAY, under global i should have looked toooooooo. Thank you worked.

Look carefully, on which register you are, the others seems not to work, but that one under 'Global' clearly is the right one. Try it one more time.

Its just that Vegas has not many Keys free for anything, i put mine for the moment under F10.

I don't know if there is a downside to doing it this way but I usually just drag the opacity down to zero for video or sound for audio, or I'll just delete the audio portion more often now since in case I need it back I can add missing stream, a nice new feature.

Sure you can do this manually, it is the same as you would Right-Mouseclick it -> Switch -> Mute.
But it is a big time safer if you have a Macro or in this case a simple Keyboardbutton for it. View it as you would Right-Mouseclick the part you want to put a cut in it and do it that way instead of just simply click 'S'.

But now i have it now on F10 and it safes time. And if i reclick F10 its up again and i dont have a need to delete if i maybe need it later.
