Cutting through cues quickly

Thanks, Jon. I understand I can do it with macros - but I feel that there should be a way to do it by default. After looking into it more, I've worked out that I can either disable playback timing, and re-enable it afterwards ... or [Goto Q][Next][Enter]. But they're both long-winded ways to do what I used to be able to do in a single convenient keystroke on the Strand.

Holding down timing disable and Go will cut the pending cue.  Time Disable and Back does the same with the last cue.

Thanks Anne - that answers the question as far as the Eos is concerned. What about the Ion, though? Timing Disable is hidden on a context-sensitive softkey. What about being able to hold down Fader Control and hit Go? Not sure whether that would be a workable idea - but it would be great if there was some way of doing it quickly and intuitively with only a couple of keystrokes.

Understood.   Well, the load button used alone is intended to assign content.  And we already have a plan for holding down load and using either go or stop.  Will ponder.

thanks,

I thought the Shift key was something that wouldn't be appearing for a little while yet?

1.9.8 includes the Shift key. This version recently went to open beta so it should become generally available shortly (see footnote).  If I were to speculate, I would expect 1.9.8 to be available the same time Gio starts shipping.

Footnote:

In the words of Anne V....

"Shortly" is a weasel word often used by developers and marketeers to explain a time frame in which several unpredictable unknowns exist. ... "Shortly" seems to be the word that most defines our goals, without promising dates that we may simply be unable to meet.
