OP Planobilly Veteran Joined: Jul 2015 Posts: 2,703 Gulf Of Mexico As Of Late	Hi Mario and all other Studio One users, I found this by googling (in my case 5.1) 96 Shortcuts for Presonus Studio One (Windows) I printed it out (two pages) and it is a big help to remember keyboard shortcuts. I know some of you have gone from Sonar to Studio One. This is a big help in learning the shortcuts. Cheers, Billy “Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig? “Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”

I got banned from Weight Watchers for dropping a bag of M&Ms on the floor. It was the best game of Hungry Hippos I've ever seen! 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

To make it easy you can create an always on top button panel and add any functions you like.
Install www.AutoHotKey.com
Click reveal below and save the code below in notepad as Studio One Actions.ahk
This is just a rough code for testing and can be polished and modified.

Alt !
Ctrl ^
Shift +
Win Logo #

so to send Ctrl + Shift + O = Import File
Send ^+o
Send ctrl+shift+o

So rename Action > Import File then go down to the function AC2:
and set the send
Send ^+o

the menu commands don't seem to work on Studio One
WinMenuSelectItem, ahk_exe Studio One.exe, , File, Open...
so you can navigate the menus, Song > Send to Notion by sending

AC3:
winactivate,ahk_exe Studio One.exe
Send {alt}
Send {right 2}
Send {Down 6}
Send {Enter}
Return

or with one line, set the delay anount to what works best SetKeyDelay

AC3:
winactivate,ahk_exe Studio One.exe
SetKeyDelay, 50
Send {alt}{right 2}{Down 6}{Enter}
Return

Click to reveal..
