Somehow use short cut keys for operations? Or expand the keyboard macros for the master keyboard?

We currently have the keyboard macros on the masterkeyboard screen where you can assign hide to a chord or key, but of course we could also allow function keys/ctrl keys... how to set this up and teach the novice user?

my suggestion: use OS level (and therefor known) keyboard shortcuts. imho no need to map or do macro. JUCE probably has something for this

possible targets:

  1. del = delete
  2. h = hide
  3. f = favorite
  4. the usual ctrl/cmd - c/x/v
  5. F2 / CTRL - R = Rename
  6. CTRL - O = open database
  7. CTRL - N = new database
  8. CTRL - +/- = scale view
  9. CTRL - I = import patch from synth
  10. CTRL - E = import edit buffer
  11. CTRL - 1/2/3 etc = switch to first/second/third synth

Ctrl/Cmd+F could be find, that shortcut is used. Maybe 1-9 could be used for selecting a bank of the current synth if Ctrl/Cmd+1-9 is used for switching synths, the button for each synth might show that number.

Hi, instead of opening up a new issue i try my luck here:

Is it possible to assign keyboard shortcuts to "next patch / previous patch" (for example to arrow left/right) in Synthbank view or Database view - instead of clicking patches with the mouse? This would make changes patches feel like changing it on the front panel of the synth.

Yes, this is a sensible request and should probably be done together with the other suggestions here. Shouldn't be too hard, but my experiences with JUCE and hotkeys are a bit mixed, as the focus handling sometimes is quirky and your key presses go into the Nirwana.
