A printable cheat-sheet with the mnemonic bindings for Linux is available for download in US Letter and A4 paper format.

This set of bindings assumes an en_US keyboard. However, most if not all bindings will also work on other keyboards when the AltGr key is used to compose those glyphs that are not directly accessible.

Editing with Edit Point

Most edit functions operate on a single Edit Point (EP). The edit point can be any of: playhead (default), the mouse or an active marker. The choice of edit point (by default) also sets the Zoom Focus.

Aligning with the Edit Point

Align operations move regions so that their start/end/sync point is at the edit point. Relative operations just align the first region and moves other selected regions to maintain relative positioning.

align start(s) a
align start(s) relative a
align sync points a

Selecting

There are a few functions that refer to an Edit Range. The current edit range is defined using combinations of the possible edit points: playhead, active marker, or mouse.

all after playhead p
all before playhead p
all enclosed by edit range u
all present in edit range u
convert edit range to range F6
invert selection i
select all after EP e
select all before EP e
select all in loop range l
select all in punch range d
select everything a
select next track/bus
select previous track/bus

Defining Loop, Punch Range and Tempo Changes

set loop range from edit range ]
set loop range from region(s) ]
set punch range from edit range [
set punch range from region(s) [
set tempo (1 bar) from edit range 0
set tempo (1 bar) from region(s) 9
