Summary0007993: Alt+Shift+Up/Down in PianoRoll doesn't work as expected
DescriptionThese two keyboard combinations are very useful for shifting selected MIDI notes one octave up or down.
But they don't work as expected in Ardour 6.

Is this change intentional? Is there a different key combination for this?

I can confirm.

In the midi_region_view.cc the code for this key binding is still present, so the change is not intentional. Seems that the event is not propagated to MidiRegionView::key_press() and even GtkCanvas::on_key_press_event() but stolen already at some earlier point. Same is true for Alt-Left, Alt-Right which moves the playhead.

There's the accelerator key binding for 'select-previous-strip' and 'select-next-strip' in the way.

Workaround: Window->Keyboard Shortcuts ; there in Editor tab, Editor find "Select Previous Strip" and "Select Next Strip" and remove or change their shortcuts.

I have just finished a major overhaul of how the (computer) keyboard can be used to edit MIDI. This particular issue is now fixed (though the bindings have changed slightly, because we need to stay away from anything involving Alt-Tab - it tends to be stolen by the desktop). In addition, all the operations on selected MIDI notes now have user-editable bindings.

I am marking this resolved .. if not please change it back, otherwise mark it closed.

One thing i am still slightly concerned about; it may be possible to accidentally move the keyboard "focus" away from the track canvas, and if this happens, the kbd shortcuts for MIDI editing will stop. Moving the mouse out and back into the track canvas will fix it, or changing mode out of internal edit and back.
