Disclaimer: It's definitely a minor thing (and maybe it's not even a thing )

I'm trying to create a macro in Keyboard Maestro to switch DP's audio status first to "MIDI Only" and then immediately to "MOTU Audio System."
This is the procedure I usually do manually whenever I install a new plugin while DP is running (and DP is basically always running ).

At first, I tried using actions that select the two menu items directly, but for some reason, that didn’t work reliably. So I had the idea to open the Commands window and assign keystrokes to the two audio engine options instead. That worked like a charm!

The issue is that DP forgets those keystrokes every time I quit the app. No matter which shortcut I assign to "MIDI Only" and "MOTU Audio System," DP doesn't retain them after a restart.
I even tried assigning one of those shortcuts to the “Quantize” command, and that one is remembered—so the problem seems specific to those two commands.

Could it be that "MIDI Only" and "MOTU Audio System" appear in the Commands window but, for some reason, can't actually be linked to shortcuts? Or is this behavior specific to my particular setup?

Does it save to the Project or you have to recreate this every time you reopen a file?

If you have to recreate it every time, my guess is that these commands are only stored in RAM. If that's the case, then it's performing as expected. If it's saved to the Document, then saving globally might not be possible as that happens in Preferences.

You should ask MOTU Support if it's possible to store these in Preferences.

Thanks Mike, I'll try your suggestions.

In the meantime I realized I messed up and posted in the wrong forum. I should have posted it in the MacOs section. Is there a way for me to move the post in the correct section? Sorry

You're welcome.
