What is the "zoom to selection" keyshort in Ableton/Live?
- Answer/Official from Live 12 Keyboard Shortcuts
- Short answer:
Z on both macOS and Windows. X zooms back out. - Where it applies:
- Arrangement View:
Z is "Zoom to Arrangement Time Selection" and X is "Zoom Back from Arrangement Time Selection". - Clip View editor:
Z is "Zoom to Clip Selection" and X is "Zoom Back from Clip Selection".
- Latching: the manual says
Z toggles zooming into the Arrangement selection when you hold it, so holding Z zooms in and releasing it zooms back out. Tapping Z then X is the persistent version. The manual notes the momentary latching can be turned off with an Options.txt entry. - Computer MIDI Keyboard: when it is turned on,
Z and X lower and raise its octave instead of zooming.
