Window Navigation and Shortcuts
As you work with FST/Connect's main window, you'll want to
remember that there are a number of keystrokes and key
combinations that can make FST/Connect even easier to use.
The first thing to know is that you can jump from one window to
the next by using the Tab key.
We've also built in several ways to select the different options in
the smaller internal windows that have pull-down arrows to their
right.
For example, once you're at the desired window, you can use the
Up/Down or Left/Right sets of cursor keys to increment and
decrement the choices. Holding one of those keys down will
"race" through the list.
"Exploding" windows
Another option is to hold the Alt key and press the Down cursor
key to make that window's list "explode." That will show you a list
of some or all of the choices available at that window. Then you
can use the cursor keys to select an option from there. When
you've made your choice, either hit the Return key or hit the
Escape key to close the list.
There are some keyboard shortcuts that are more specific to their
functions. They are listed on the pages in Chapter Two where
those functions are first introduced.
Free Space Preview: Using the numeric keys
You can use the numeric keys as an aid when selecting the sample
rate or track depth for the Free Space Preview window. Once
you've chosen the "kHz" window, press 9 to select 96k, press 8 for
88.2k, or press 4 repeatedly to toggle between 48k and 44.1k.
The "For" window has different sets of responses to the numeric
keys, depending on the selected sample rate. As stated earlier, if
the sample rate is 44.1k or 48k you can have up to 24 tracks, but
you can have no more than 12 tracks for the higher sample rates
of 88.2k and 96k. Some of the available choices are different for
that reason.
So once you've clicked somewhere in the "For" window, your
choices are as follows:
• for 44.1k/48k, press 2 repeatedly to toggle between 2 tracks and
24 tracks; use the 6 key to select 6 tracks, the 8 key to select 8
tracks, or the 1 key to select 16 tracks.
• for 88.2k/96k, press 2 to select 2 tracks, press 6 to select 6 tracks,
press 8 to select 8 tracks, or press the 1 key to select 12 tracks.
