Keyboard driven automation editing does not work

I wanted to try out this feature introduced in version 9.0, but it doesn’t seem to work. I cannot add new control points by pressing enter (playhead jumps to the beginning of the timeline instead), nor can I move the selected control point by using the arrow keys. Am I missing something?

I’m running version 9.2 by the way.

EDIT: I tried this on macOS X and it works as expected.

Is your mouse inside the automation track?

Yes it is, however I figured out the issue. It seems the keyboard commands work on audio track automation, but not MIDI track automation. Are these implemented differently?

yes same behaviour here.
Wtih automation on MIDI tracks ( Bender, Pressure, Controllers & Polyphonic Pressure ) I cannot use “enter” to insert automation point and not use use the arrow keys to move points.

It isn’t intentional, but it is a mistake.

Hi Paul, mistake as in user error or as in not yet implemented ?
Just curious. ( Ardour 9.2.131 on Debian 13 )
