RE: important message regarding future Pro Tools features and VoiceOver keys
Hi Slau and others! I tryed CapsLock in ElCapitan and Sierra times and realized that it was not that stable as Control+Option. Especially when having to use the Shift key a lot of times CapsLock became unreliable and VoiceOver restarts have been necessary. Due to the German language the Shift key is used more often than in other languages. So I hope that everything became a bit better with HighSierra now.
