Assign Functions to Keyboard
In Avid Liquid, you can assign certain functions to certain keys. You can select
whether these functions should only be effective in certain modules or whether they
should be available everywhere (placed on the Global Layer). For example, you can
specify that pressing the spacebar always
executes Start/Stop Playback for the Time-
line even while you are working in the Audio Editor. In addition, you can assign
menu commands to keys.

Assignment Layers
There are two types of layers:
 Keyboard shortcuts valid only in modules (Master Viewer, Audio Editor, Logging Tool etc.).
 Global keyboard shortcuts which have the same function no matter what module you are in
(Global Layer). However, if you assign a different function to the same key within the same mod-
ule, this function takes precedence.
If a key is assigned two different functions, the module-specific function takes priority over the Global
Layer function.
