Shortcuts Keep Their Modifier Keys
Share
Firmware 9.8.3 and 9.8.4 make keyboard shortcuts with CTRL, SHIFT or ALT arrive the way you set them.
What was going wrong
When a key or an encoder was set to KEYBOARD with a modifier such as CTRL or SHIFT, some programs missed the modifier and only got the key. In Cubase, CTRL + F4 arrived as F4 and SHIFT + G arrived as G.
A Cubase user sent us a very detailed list of which combinations came through and how. That made the cause easy to find: the modifier was being released too early.
What changed
From 9.8.3, the modifier stays held for as long as you hold the key. 9.8.4 does the same for encoders, so the modifier stays held while you turn.
You do not need to change any settings.
How to update
- Download the latest ParksTool Uploader from the releases page.
- Run it, connect your device over USB, and press Auto Update.
Updating from any 9.8 version keeps your settings.
Thanks to the Cubase user who took the time to write it all down. If a shortcut still does not arrive the way you expect, tell us which program and which keys.
