6.3 - A More Intuitive Interface
Many users tell us they choose Congo because it provides an intuitive user interface: "Once
you understand the basic structure it is usually easy, fun, and intuitive to find the right
commands".
One example of this is the way the RECORD key always has worked in combination with
other keys:
RECORD = Records a preset
RECORD & GROUP = Records a group
RECORD & FOCUS = Records a focus palette
etc...
This is fast, logical and simple, but... you have to KNOW that the record key is the one you
need, right?
So, what if you are wondering "which of all functions are the most useful ones when I am
working in the channel view?"
Well, there is the HELP system, so you can hold "?" and press LIVE to open the Help Page
for the Live button. If you know that the CH button is key in selecting channels you can hold
"?" and press CH to get all those shortcuts as well. But, what if you just want to find some of
the most important functions for the channel view in Live (or any other situation)?
Answer: Context Menus!
When in Live: try pressing SELECT twice. This will open the Context Menu for Live.
