Quick Reference

Modifier Key Philosophy

Gridshift uses a consistent modifier hierarchy throughout the application. Once you learn these patterns, you can predict how shortcuts work across different contexts.
ModifierPurpose
(none)Navigation between objects
⇧ ShiftMulti-selection (add to selection)
⌘ CmdCursor/Marquee mode
⌘⇧Extend Marquee selection
⌘⌃Move objects (clips, notes, points)
⌘⌃⇧Timestretch objects
⌥ OptionZoom & fine adjustments
Option = Fine ModeWhen combined with other modifiers, Option makes movements finer (1/8 grid instead of full grid). This works for cursor movement, marquee extension, and object positioning.
