== Keyboard Shortcuts ==
You can fully assign the Tracktion keyboard shortcuts however you like however the default shortcuts are well thought-out and a great starting point for new users.
Below is the complete list of default keyboard shortcuts for Windows, MacOSX and Linux.
Note to editors:
A quick means of adding/removing/editing the shortcuts in this Wiki is exporting the shortcuts from Tracktion into an HTML file. Then, take the result file's source and paste it in this site to get a Wiki formatted version: http://bmanolov.free.fr/html2wiki-tables.php#wiki . Editing of the code will be required to change the table format to a wikitable. The sub-header formatting will need changing from <code>h4</code> tags to <code>====</code>.
