Quick F5 tip for Mac users

@dannytaurus I use BetterTouchTool and have it on Fn+Space for HISE, way more practical than reaching up.

That's fine if you want to flip ALL the F1-F12 keys to function, but I use the volume, play/pause and brightness buttons all the time and definitely didn't want to have to hit the fn button for all of those.

@aaronventure Yeah, I might end up mapping a different key combo but I'm giving F5 a chance.

I like to use as little custom config on my Mac as possible. Makes it much easier to move between machines that way, if you don't have to drag a load of custom cruft with you.

Either way, it's better than the fn+F5 stretch that I was doing before!

Hi have a hotkey matrix hiding somewhere for ProTools that I don't use anymore. I wonder if I can repurpose it, there should be enough keys for Hise

@dannytaurus I've mapped CAPS LOCK to trigger the F5 key (via Karabiner)

[dannytaurus]

@daniloprates Ooh, nice! I never use caps lock, might try that

Exactly this! Left pinky on the SHIFT and hammer those keys!

Same on iOS. Instead of double-tapping the shift key to lock it, I shift uppercase every character, just so it makes me more angry!
