Folks,

I’ve attached a plain text version of the keyboard shortcuts for Pro Tools 
version 12.6. I’ve stripped out the Windows commands so this is Mac only. I’ve 
left in the right-click shortcuts as they appear in the pdf. They’re not 
keyboard shortcuts, per se, but I left them in just in case someone wants to 
search for a contextual item.

Best,
slau
