The MIOConsole3d Application
204
Global Key Commands
Due to the nature of Console3d as the control interface for your MIO units, there are a number of
Console3d-specific key commands that you might want to trigger while working in a different application.
Primary examples include operating the Monitor Controller, Talkback and/or Session transport while edit-
ing in a DAW.
In the “Edit Key Commands” window, each command has a checkbox. If the box is checked, the key
command will be established
globally
throughout your computer system - it will be active no matter which
application is frontmost. To make a command
global
, check the box. To make the command
local
(e.g.
operational only from within MIOConsole3d), uncheck the box.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Keep in mind, while MIOConsole3d is running, any
global
key-command
will trigger whenever you press that keystroke
no matter what program you are working in
.
This will make it impossible to use that keystroke for any other purpose in any application (in-
cluding MIOConsole3d). Therefore, if you plan on making the key-command global, you should
make sure to use keystrokes that are not meaningful to any other applications (including the
operating system). In particular, you should not use un-modified single character keystrokes for
global commands as this would make typing that character into a text field (in any application)
non-functional.
Figure 10.21: Global Key Commands example
For example, in the picture above, you can see we changed the keystroke for the Talkback
command from the default ‘
t
’ to ‘
⌃⇧⌘T
’ (control-shift-command-T) before making it global.
That allows you to use ‘
⌃⇧⌘T
’ to toggle talkback from your DAW or any other program.
