How are these "quick buttons" called? How to trigger them by keyboard shortcut?

[derwok]

Hi all!
Having more and more fun with Ardour (just installed 6.7)…
BIG thanks to Paul & team!

I already figured out how to put some Lua scripts on theses “Quick Buttons”.

(Even rolled my own script…)

Now I wonder:

1. Is there any way I can trigger either a Lua script or such a Quick button with a keyboard shortcut?
2. How are these buttons officially called? Action Buttons? Quick Buttons? Macro Buttons? Caus I could not find them described in the manual either…

Thx. for any help.

(2). Action [Script] Buttons. You can show up to 12 of them in Preferences > Toolbar

(1). Yes you can. Menu > Window > Keyboard Shortcuts Tab “Editor” LuaAction
There are up to 32 slots (by default), the first 12 correspond to the buttons in the editor. the rest can be set in Menu > Edit > Lua Scripts > Script Manager > Action Scripts

Hey Robin!
Once more: thx for super-fast help.
It worked like a charm! (I just had no clue what to search for!)

Just added a pull-request to update & improve the Ardour manual at this area:

Updated screenshot image and documentation of the Mode Selector to 6.7

…while also updating the whole section to 6.7 state of the GUI

WOK.

Damn… and after 1hr of work just to find out that github user MrHeadwar was faster than me… He just yesterday created a Doc pull request with almost identical intention…

6.7: Added 'Rec' to mode selector and shortcuts to script buttons

So, I guess I’ll withdraw mine… to avoid confusion at the Ardour team.
Sry.
