Shortcut Keys and Mouse Support


Turn Keyboard Support On or Off

You can turn Keyboard Shortcuts On or Off from the General Options menu. Keyboard support must be set to Full for all Keyboard shortcuts to be available. Available options include Full (full keyboard support), Minimal (only TAB, arrow keys, and ENTER), or None (Keyboard shortcuts turned off).

Alt+click

If you Alt+click on the "active" light of a module on the faceplate that module is made active (on) and all other modules are bypassed.

If you Alt+click on the Bypass ("b") button of a multiband that band is solo'ed.

If you Alt+click on a module in the preset system that module is made active and the rest inactive.

Alt+clicking on most other controls will reset them to their default value.

Wheel Mouse Notes

If you have a wheel mouse, you can adjust most controls (I/O gain, sliders, etc.) by simply positioning the mouse cursor over the control and rolling the wheel. Hold CTRL to move in smaller increments and SHIFT to move in larger increments. If the wheel has no effect, try clicking on the plugin to make sure Ozone has the keyboard focus.

In the Paragraphic Equalizer, you can adjust the Q of a selected band or bands with the wheel.

In the Paragraphic Equalizer table (accessed with the "Show Info" button) you can adjust a value by holding the mouse over the value and rolling the wheel.

In the History screen, you can use the wheel to scroll through the History list.

Copy/Paste Support

Right-click (under OS X you can also ctrl-click) on any slider to bring up a context menu allowing you to copy and paste its value. You can copy/paste between sliders, even if the sliders are in different instances of the plugin. You can also copy/paste between a slider and a text editor such as Notepad or TextEdit in order to see the slider's value to a much higher precision than the plugin displays.

Mouse and Meters

You can zoom in and out on level meters and level histograms by holding down the Ctrl key under Windows or the Command key under OS X and clicking with the left mouse button to zoom in or the right mouse button to zoom out. Under OS X you can also Command-ctrl-click to zoom out.

You can reset the peaks or averaging of the spectrum by clicking on the spectrum.

You can reset a meter's peak indication by clicking on it. You can also reset a level meter's clipping indicator by clicking on the clipping indicator (the red "over" light at the top).)
