Keyboard shortcuts and command sets
Overview of MainStage keyboard shortcuts and
command sets
Standard keyboard shortcuts: Many common tasks, from switching modes and showing
inspectors to working with tools, can be accomplished quickly by pressing one or more
keys on your computer keyboard. These are called keyboard shortcuts. For a list of default
keyboard shortcuts, see the subtopics in the Keyboard shortcuts topic.
Custom keyboard shortcuts: You can create your own custom keyboard shortcuts for
tasks you perform frequently, and use the Key Commands Editor to substitute your custom
keyboard shortcuts for the default set in MainStage. See View keyboard shortcuts in the
Key Commands Editor and Edit keyboard shortcuts.
