Note: The Configuration Panel is only available if the Viz Ticker Client Startup Parameters have been set to -config on.

The .Configuration Panel v3.1 shows a list of all existing keyboard shortcuts. From this panel it is possible to add user-defined keyboard shortcuts. It is also possible to import a keyboard shortcut file, or to export such a file.

Note: Changing the keyboard shortcuts affects all Ticker Systems connected to the same Media Sequencer.

  • Import and Export: Imports and exports shortcut settings to and from an XML-file for backup and reuse of typical configurations.

    Note: The keyboard file has a .kbd file extension.

  • Add Macro: Writes a macro command and links it to a shortcut key.

  • Add Script: Writes a Visual Basic script and links it to a shortcut key. If a key combination is already in use, you are given the option of overriding the existing command. This leaves the other command without an assigned shortcut.

  • Remove: Removes macros and scripts that are custom made. Note that no warning is issued when performing this operation.

    IMPORTANT! Avoid using SHIFT as part of a command, as this disables the possibility to use the assigned key when writing characters (for example in upper case).
