Thanks Mike…

It’s actually page 357 in my pdf manual on Vegas 6.0.

And I follow along with most of the keyboard shortcut customizing prefs…

For instance I can set Control-Y to open the Tools/Scripting/RunScript
sequence.

But what I would LIKE to do is Run a Specific Script from the shortcut… e.g. Control+Y would start the script for automatically cutting the clip to the Left of the Split.

I can rename the Script so it will appear at the top of the list.

I’ve also added a button to the toolbar to start the script. But I don’t know how to do a keyboard shortcut to that point either….

Sorry for the confusion…

Once I get the Keyboard shortcut figured out… I’ll add it to my ShuttlePro controller… which will just about cover my quick – cutting/editing needs.

Thanks again

Hi Steve. I just looked in the index, it said p. 341, so that’s what I typed. Turns out p. 357 is for scripting.

Anyway, on to your problem. I just tried it and had no problem doing exactly what you want. In the Keyboard prefs, I click on the script I want to assign (in the Available Commands box – I already had my scripts loaded under Tools – Scripting) and then choose the shortcut I want by clicking in the “Press new shortcut keys:” box and entering the desired shortcut combination. Press “Assign” & “Apply”. Done.
Let me know if that works for you.

Hey Mike…

I got it worked out thanks again…

Like your setup I kept looking in Keyboard commands under tools/scripting/ (figured it would there)… but it was under Script.RemoveLeftEvent

Thanks again…

Steve…

Now Editing with one hand… all right – no comments from the peanut gallery…

Steve, glad you got it worked out.

It’s hard but I’ll restrain myself. I can’t promise the same from anyone else though 🙂

Thanks Mike…

I’ve got another post on the way… It has a couple of links in it so it’s under review…

Just a big thank you to the guy who wrote the script…
