I still don´t use all the Ableton Live Keyboard Shortcuts I could, because I simply can´t remember them all.
Having the printed manual or some photocopies on my desk wasn´t the solution either.
I really felt the need to have all those shortcuts on one simple page, but to my knowledge there is no such thing.
UNTIL NOW!
I thought I had to give something back, so I created two Shortcut lists with two pages each – on for Windows users and one for MAC users.
Please feel free to download them here:
It´s free, a simple “thanks” is all I´m asking for….
Please let me know, if You find any mistakes.

Hi! nice idea thanks a lot! should come in very handy, especially for noobs.
one thing, the link above is kinda broke, both the Mac and the Windows link are the same (the mac.pdf).
in other words (in case this wasnt clear^^)
when you click the windows link, you will be directed to the mac pfd. thats because both are the same 1 mac link.^^

Thanks from me as well! I started trying to put together the exact same thing, and thought, “hmmmmmmmmmmmmm … I wonder if someone has already done this?” And lo and behold!
Over the years I have gotten into lots of bad workflow habits by not making efficient use of keyboard accelerators…hopefully having this at hand will go a way to fix it.
Best regards

Wow. I already knew some that made it easier for me, but simply because of “CTRL – finer adjustments” you get a big THANKS from me
DD I always tried to draf around as careful as possible to have the same automation values in two places. Now when you also want to have even numbers it gets more and more of a pain in the ass.
And thats just the second block. Let’s see what else i can find
THANKS A LOT!!!

Thanks so much! Super handy.
I’m still very much a n00b, and have been considering getting one of these keyboard covers to simply life. Your contribution is a big help in the meanwhile.

Thanks so much Vertecs! You’re going to Ableton heaven for this!
Btw, does anyone know if there a way to copy all MIDI & or customization paramaters in a track/clip, etc?
I don’t think that was listed if I read correctly.
thanks all
