Hi, sorry to bug you all. Can anyone (who knows where to find it easily…because I could not locate it) find me a post that outlines all of the key-combo’s and a brief description of its function, with the mode that the OT has to be in, to preform these functions? This must exist somewhere.

there should be other more focussed posts but the manual covers the essentials
In the back of my “manual” I gathered short cuts in a “How to” fashion, ordered by tasks. Should be more or less complete by now. Just listing short cuts did not do the trick for me. I am wondering “How to copy …” and therefore my tables. However, the manual is indeed for many if not most things the first point of call.

Right, thx.
Anyone know of an updated or similar version for the MK2?
I know there is a list in the manual, but I find this version much easier to look through.
