Hi All!

I just looked in the 9.5 manual and correct me if I'm wrong but there isn't a keyboard shortcut to 'Collapse All Devices in Rack'. This would come in very handy when I'm trying to keep my rack tidy and save me time. I've just had to collapse 14 devices in the rack and that was a small project really.

I'm surprised there isn't a rack section in the keyboard shortcuts / modifiers in the manual actually.

Thanks!

if you hold ALT while collapsing a device, all the devices in the column or in the combinator will collapse

Alt + click will collapse or expand all racks in that column (if you do it on a mixer or a device that is not in a combinator or mixer insert area etc)..

Note if you do it on a device in a combinator or mixer insert then it collapses or expands all devices in that section.

Thanks a lot guys. That's very handy. Still a shortcut to collapse the whole rack in one shebang would be fantastic.

That doesn't work either. Unless it's a Mac only shortcut. Didn't work on Windows.

But in Windows that does not do the whole rack just the column (which personally I prefer)...

If you have the whole rack in a single column it does.

Oh that's good. Thanks for that handy tip.

I still think, why not just have a F key to close the whole rack without the need to scroll up to the top to the hardware interface.

Because F follows the play cursor on the sequencer. :lol:

You can do it on any device, it does not have to be the top one.

Edit: Not devices in combinators or inserts as that just collapses and expands them only.

I know that but I wasn't talking about collapsing the individual devices, I was talking about collapsing the whole rack in one fell swoop.

But in Windows you can't do that and I was referring to you can ALT+Click on any device in that column to collapse\expand all devices in that column (but different rule for devices in combinators and inserts) only, not the whole rack (unless you only use one column for all devices)
