alternate mouse action suggestions

[maximilians]

Hello fairly I'm fairly new to podium but I have a request/suggestion. It would be really nice to have the options for alternate mouse click setups . A couple changes would make things more efficient for me like instead of having to double click to erase when in pencil mode is to just single click erase .
another option in pencil mode would be that if right click drag would be selection mode.
I'm sure both of these points have been made before but i think its important to have the options that make sense for the individual user since we have all had different software experience and have become accustomed to certain ways of working.

The piano roll in Podium is almost perfect. However tons of times I have problems with it: I don't like swich between tools, I do everything with Pencil tool.

With Pencil tool [+Ctrl/Alt/shift] you can do the most of the actions that you usually need, except one: unselect notes.

Aditionaly I think that tons of user would find more useful delete notes with right click, instead double click.

Then my suggestion is:

Please Frits, allow customization of right click in piano roll / drum editor, where two options would be:
- Tools popup (for people that like the traditional menu, as Conquistador)
- Unselect and delete event (this would be ideal for avoid tools swiches)
- Extra action 1
- Extra action 2
- Extra action N


With Unselect & delete event option you could:
- Avoid tool swiching
- Hide tools icons
- Unselect a group of notes right clicking in a emply space
- Less menus in Podium
- Add notes with left click, delete notes with right click, what could be more inmediate and simple?

I think that a superfast workflow is ideal for those people that do music instead collect a bunch of features/exotic functions

Bump again, please Frits consider add the option of delete and unselect notes with right click, it's pretty uncomfortable have to switch tools

I know there are plenty of people who don't like to use the keyboard, but I just press the delete button on my keyboard.

[LiquidProj3ct]

it isn't only about delete, unselect note with pencil tool is critical! (because you cannot do it in any way)

[druid]

Hey yeah, I just realised I double-click to create note with the select tool, but I'm not sure I like that method. I like the select tool, but I'd like a shortcut to create a note, like holding down alt and clicking on emptiness, or something.

Something like this would be great:

+1 for smart midi mouse options

I rebump this thread. I'm having a hard time with pencil tool and Podium's piano roll. When I select some notes they aren't unselected when I select another group of notes, and the right click is unuseful for me.

There isn't relative snap either, so I lose all the groove if I move notes.
