Menu Reference
Key Commands…
The Key Commands dialog allows you to specify key com-
mands for virtually any Cubase Essential function, as well
as customize existing key commands to your liking. Use
the Help button in the dialog for information about the
items in the dialog.
Recent Projects
This submenu provides shortcuts to the most recent
projects you have been working with. The list is chrono-
logical with the most recent project at the top of the list.
Quit
Ö Under Mac OS X, this item is accessed from the Cu-
base Essential menu.
This quits the program. If there are any unsaved changes
in an open project, you will have the option of keeping
these or discarding them before the program quits.
Edit menu
Undo/Redo
Cubase Essential offers wide-ranging, multiple Undo, al-
lowing you to undo virtually any action you perform.
• To undo the last performed action, select Undo from the
Edit menu, or use the corresponding key command (by
default [Ctrl]/[Command]+[Z]).
If you select Undo again, the previously performed action will be undone,
and so on.
• To redo the last undone action, select Redo from the
Edit menu, or use the corresponding key command (by
default [Ctrl]/[Command]+[Shift]+[Z]).
Undone actions will be available for Redo until you perform another action
(at which point the “Redo Stack” is cleared – see “History…” below).
History…
The Edit History window contains a graphical representa-
tion of the “Undo Stack” (the performed actions, with the
most recent action at the top of the stack) and the “Redo
Stack” (the undone actions, with the most recently un-
done action at the bottom of the stack). The two stacks
are separated by a divider line.
The Edit History dialog allows you to undo or redo several
actions in one go, by moving the divider between the Undo
Stack and the Redo Stack (in essence, moving actions from
the Undo Stack to the Redo Stack, or vice versa).
Cut/Copy/Paste
You can cut or copy selected events (or selection ranges)
and paste them in again at the current cursor position on
the original track(s).
Paste at Origin
This will paste an event at its original position, i.e. where it
was originally cut or copied from.
Delete
This will delete all selected events.
!
You can specify how many levels of Undo should be
available with the “Maximum Undo” setting on the
General page in the Preferences on the File menu.
