to find two unassigned options that are next to each other or easy to
remember.
Note: for best results with X-Ray Windows, avoid using Alt key
combinations.
3. Once you’ve decided on two keys or key combinations that you want to
use, select Global Bindings in the Bind Context field, and scroll to the
bottom of the list of commands that are in the window below that field.
4. In the Key window, highlight the key or key combination that you want
to use for the X-Ray command, then highlight X-Ray in the function
column of the list of commands, then click the Bind button to bind them
together.
5. Now highlight the key or key combination that you want to use for the X-
Ray All FX/Synths command, then Highlight X-Ray All FX/Synths in
the function column of the list of commands, then click the Bind button
to bind them together.
6. Click OK to close the dialog.
To Use X-Ray Windows
1. Use the Options-Global command to open the Global Options dialog,
and on the General tab, make sure that the Enable X-Ray checkbox is
enabled.
2. Make sure that the view windows you want to X-Ray are in the Floating-
enabled state: to check this, click the view or fx icon that’s in the upper
left corner of a window, and select Enable Floating from the dropdown
menu. If Disable Floating is in the menu, then the Floating option is
already enabled.
Note: all FX/Synth/Control surface property pages are float-enabled by
default.
3. To X-Ray or un-X-Ray a single window, move the mouse cursor over
the window, and press the keyboard shortcut (default is Shift+X) for the
X-Ray command. The window does not need to have focus (does not
need to be the highlighted window).
4. To X-Ray or un-X-Ray all plug-in windows at once, press the key
binding for the X-Ray All FX/Synths command.
Note: if a window has focus, and the window’s Give All Keystrokes To Plug-
in button is enabled, X-Ray keyboard commands won’t work.
