Probably spoiled by modern text editors, I was wondering if there's a way to customize keyboard shortcuts. I have checked Editor Commands in Help tab but found it really baffling. Can I change the keybinding somewhere? And what on earth am I supposed to do to type in things like M-<whatever> or C-<whatever> to trigger the commands?

 

The Editor Command in Help menu are CCL (Emacs) shortcuts but they will work in OM.

There is no possibility to customise the Opusmodus shortcuts (GUI) commands at present.

Midi Entry provides some interesting ways to do some shortcuts like opening parenthesis, entering rhythms (t s e q h w) , etc.

M = option key

C = control key

 

Example:

M-n  =  option-n

C-M-q  =  control-option-q

Thank you, that explains a lot. I searched online and found M (meta) usually refers to the cmd key on mac and was very confused since many of them would conflict with other commands in Opusmodus. My question is, then, what is "Alt" in the Editor Commands sheet? Is it also the option key?

 

Is there any plan to add the custom shortcuts feature in future versions of Opusmodus?

"Alt" on Mac is option key.

I would say yes.

If you are familiar with Emacs editor you can also use it with Opusmodus, it works very well.
