Hi @Ronennieshow,

Welcome to algoriddim’s Community Forums! It sounds like you’re using djay Pro AI on Mac, is that right?

If so, you can disable keyboard shortcuts using the check box in djay’s Preferences menu on the “Shortcuts” tab, as shown below:

Keyboard Shortcuts

If you’d like, you can also edit keyboard shortcuts or create your own customized shortcut set from this location as well.

Hope this helps you avoid the air horn sample when you’re not necessarily wanting to hear it. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Happy mixing! :headphones:

Thanks for clarifying the platform/djay app you’re using. My apologies for not clarifying that before responding earlier.

At the moment, on djay Pro for Windows, it’s not yet possible to disable the keyboard shortcuts. I’ve added this to our internal request list and we appreciate your feedback. We’ll keep you posted here with any updates.

Hi. Is nowadays (2025) possible to disable shortcuts on Djay Pro for Windows? Thx

Hi @Penumbra, thanks for checking in. This option is currently not available on Windows. I will bring this up with the dev team again though. Thanks!

for me, not beging able to disable keyboard shortcuts in the Windows version is a real problem. In the speed of normal operation , the chances of hitting an unwanted shortcut key is far too big at this moment. In my humble opinion, the option to disable keyboard shortcuts in the windows version shouldn’t be a difficult fix, when can we expect this?

I just decided to make the switch to DJpro with my new Performer. However, this is a major issue for me as every other program I’ve used uses space bar to open the library screen. DJPro for some reason decide this should start and stop a song and this is really hard to change after 20 years of muscle memory. Do we have an ETA on at least disabling keyboard shortcuts on windows as this seems like something that has been an issue for others for many years.

Hi @12Volt_Wizard, welcome to the Community! Thanks for the feedback. We do not have an ETA to share, but I will pass your comments onto the dev team. Thanks!

Thank you, can we have them look into a way to disable keyboard shortcuts altogether or when its in external mixer mode. Went to search a song today and it halfed my set BPM for a song, which was super frustrating to have a song just drop speed that drastically while DJing.

I really don’t want to resort to VDJ as I’m loving DJPro so far other than the keyboard issues.

Hello, love the app on ipad, would be great to have a setting in place for disabling keyboard shortcuts (I have an iPad keyboard). My main thought for this is because if I’m doing a set live, and my muscle memory tells me to hit space to bring up the Music Collection (as one would usually do with RekordBox), then there is a disaster. I’ve actually rebound the space key on the desktop app to also bring up the Music Collection, but asking for shortcut customisation on iPad would be a huge feature request so I won’t do that!

thanks, sorry its my first time here so should have looked for the question already having been asked (will do that next time!) Does asking on a previous question ‘bump’ it for the project managers? Also my question is specifically for iPad, so, maybe slightly different (as the desktop version already has this option).

No problem @timhc22. Yes, commenting and voting in an existing topic bumps it.

Using djay pro live tonight i accidentally pushed keyboard shortcuts several times in my set - I usually use a touchscreen laptop which gets around this problem but with a standard laptop it was pretty bad - several moments of the crowd looking at me like I just killed their cat.

please enable a disable keyboard shortcuts option for pc!
