Ableton/Live/UG/41 Accessibility and Keyboard Nav/05 Editing Automation and Modulation Envelopes
- Breakpoints in automation and modulation envelopes can be added, edited and deleted from the keyboard, with screen reader feedback. This works in Arrangement automation lanes and in a clip's Envelope Editor.
- Left and right arrows move the insert marker along the envelope, showing the value at each point.
Enter creates a breakpoint at the insert marker; press Enter again to place it, or move it with the arrows first.Option plus left or right (Mac) / Alt plus left or right (Win) jumps to the previous or next breakpoint. The focused breakpoint takes the same color as a mouse hover.
Enter selects the breakpoint at the insert marker; Option-click (Mac) / Alt-click (Win) moves the marker to a breakpoint and selects it; Tab / Shift+Tab select the next or previous one. A selected breakpoint pulses.- After undoing a breakpoint move with
Cmd+Z (Mac) / Ctrl+Z (Win), the restored breakpoint briefly takes the hover color, which helps when breakpoints line up vertically. - Type a number or use up and down to change the value;
Enter confirms and deselects, Esc cancels. Delete removes the breakpoint.
Option plus up or down (Mac) / Alt plus up or down (Win) cycles through a track's automation envelopes in the Arrangement.- Add
Shift to cycle through every device parameter, automated or not.
