Topic: Help With Keyboard Shortcut

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hello,

I am running Virtual DJ Pro version 6.0.5. (along with a denon HC 4500 controller)

I would like to create 2 keyboard shortcuts:

Load the currently selected track into the LEFT player when I press the "Left Arrow Key"

Load the currently selected track into the RIGHT player when I press the "Right Arrow Key"

I know that the keys I need to change are LEFT & RIGHT but I can not figure out what the action should be. Could someone please help by providing what I should have under "action" for this to work?

Thank you,

The easiest way is to look at the normal use.
One deck is usually playing when you load the idle deck.

If you create a one key shortcut and assign "deck default load" in the window, the selected track will load to the idle deck.

VDJ is as deep as you want to go, that rabbit goes a long way down that hole.

You can spend quite a bit of time figuring out the script commands and spacing/punctuation.
If you study that guide and do a little trial and error, you will see how complex it can be.

Before you get too deep into the keyboard, if you are not already, consider a control device also.
 
You can use the HC-4500 scroll knob to find the track you want then press it in and it will load the track to the inactive deck.
