Target Window and Settings Shortcuts
When multiple plug-in windows are open, a
highlighted target indicates the target window.
Pro Tools keeps a single plug-in target window.
Opening a new plug-in opens it as the new tar-
get window, in the same location. In addition,
the plug-in target window is also the focus of
keyboard shortcuts for plug-in settings.

Using the Librarian

The Settings Librarian makes it easy to create
your own library of plug-in settings. Using the
Librarian and Settings pop-up menus, you can
copy, paste, save, and import these settings from
plug-in to plug-in, or from session to session.
