\ key

Post by baanes »

I occasionally bump the \ key when I'm going for delete, since they're so close, and whenever I do DP will pause and become unresponsive for 5-15 seconds. Oddly, I looked through commands and found nothing mapped to this key. Anyone know what's going on?

In my largely default key commands setup, this key is mapped to "tap to enter tempo". Look at the tempo value in the control panel when you press the key.

Bayswater has the answer. Just delete that key command and that will get rid of the problem.

When I'm looking to see if a key or combo is being used in any of the commands, I go into Commands and type it in Page Setup. If a key or combo is being used, DP will tell you where. I use Page Setup just because I know I can't hurt anything if I leave something in there accidentally.
