Zooming on the automation lanes

Brilliant! Thanks, that bugged me too.

Can someone help me with snap automation offset. I was playing with a loop and because of the offset it sounded funny controlling a filter. Like the filter would open at the end of the loop a little because my offset was -5. Is there a good reason to have an offset?

Thanks,

After doing a little more sleuthing I discovered that if the following tools are assigned to the CMD key, this 3-key trick will not work:

• pointer tool
• pencil tool
• eraser tool
• automation select tool
• automation curve tool

I'd be curious to see if anyone else finds the same non-working behavior when one of these tools is assigned to CMD.

Same results here.

Thankx for confirming, Twister!

I know I'm a bit late with this reply but Ski your findings are the same for me (FWIW). And I found a neat trick, (I think). If the Automation select tool is your command key, then by holding the Control+ Option+ Command and dragging in the Automation lane it actually creates four nodes!!. Another way of creating nodes quickly unless it it is widely known already & I'm just slow.
But I suppose the Marquee tool is more versatile as a Command key tool. (Personal preference)

NIce tip, I never knew that. But then again I rarely have the Automation select tool assigned to anything.

Another option is to use shift+control+option with the arrow tool. That's the pre-marquee tool method that still works. I find it especially useful in the Hyperdraw window, where there is no choice of the marquee tool.

And another one is Shift + Option creates only 2 nodes in Automation.
