Thanks for the reply Emily.
which keyboard shortcuts you’d like to see added to the default set that would make your workflow easier in djay?
My goal is to be able to browse the Library easily with one-hand. These mappings try to place “Library” shortcuts close together on the keyboard.
-
First I’d like to re-map the ← → keys, with ← mapped to “Focus on Playlists” and → mapped to “Focus on Tracks”; the same way they visually appear on screen. So with one-hand I can browse playlists and tracks just using the ← ↑ ↓ → keys. (Unfortunately, the → key in MacOS won’t work with “Focus on Tracks” and I’m not sure why.)
-
The Return key which toggles the “Expand Library” view is nearby, so that Library function is within reach of the same hand.
-
“Add/Remove Selected Tracks (to Queue)” mapped to \ | key above Return key. Useful for one-handed operation (vs. CMD+Return and CMD+Backspace).
-
“Preview Selected Track” mapped to the /? key. The /? mapping makes a lot of since since it’s right next to the “Forward/Back Preview” < > keys. Also it’s not that weird CMD+ALT+6 mapping for Previewing a Track.
Note: Another option would be to use the Tab key to cycle through the Playlists, Tracks and Queue, like in Serato. Unfortunately the Tab key in djay Pro cycles through some places that doesn’t even register on the screen, so it’s not very reliable.
Other functions that would be useful:
- “Focus on Queue” and “Focus on Automix” functions. Right now you have to mouse over to get to the Queue and Automix panes.
- “Add to Queue and Play Next” - for impromptu requests.
- “Move Track Up/Down” - re-arrange the queue on the fly.
