Keyboard Shortcuts for moving scenes inside of a bank?

Post by Ole_D »

Hello All,

Is there any option available to move scenes in one bank via keyboard shortcut?

Background:
Since I am dealing with >500 scenes in the meantime (I know, sounds a lot: I'm a drummer, switching pre-defined scenes via midi-pedal during our show). At home, a big monitor helps to deal with a huge numbers of scenes e.g. in one bank while moving them back and forth.
Also, if I want to move a scene from bank 1 to bank 2, I can drag the scene onto the new bank on top and drop it there.
So far, so good.
Now I had the challenge that I wanted to move a scene on my (smaller) laptop at the venue, but it turned out that - if the no. of scenes exceeds the monitor size - I cannot move the single scene to a new position at the beginning of this bank, since Daslight centers the view as soon as I want to drag a single scene.

It would be fantastic if e.g. a combination of STRG and LeftRightUpDown arrows could allow me moving a scene to a new position!

I did not find anything in the forum for such a solution, therefore many thanks in advance for any ideas!

Hey Ole,

I will log a suggestion that we add a right click > 'Move scene' option, however I can not guarantee if or when this would be implemented.

In the meantime, you could resolve this by using an external mouse. Now when you drag to move a scene, you can also hold shift and mouse scroll to move the screen left and right. Furthermore, you could even change the display ratio in the Settings screen to 75% scale, though this may make for some tricky viewing/selecting!

Hope this helps as a temporary workaround!

Kind regards,
Will
