Hotkeys!!!

Just wanted to express how awesome the openmpt hotkeying system is, I don't know any other DAW/tracker that beats how many actions openmpt has and how remappable they are. I guess Reaper is similar, but I feel like when I tried to start using reaper I had to touch my mouse a fair amount, but I feel as if I can almost completely use openmpt without picking up my mouse. I guess its partially due to DAWs being inherently more complicated, but it feels more like the developers just don't really care to add the features cause most people don't use them. This is really awesome cause I want to get more compositional practice in and until now I've been struggling with wrist pain, but changing to nearly full keyboard for almost all of my computer use means I can virtually practice however much I want without getting carpal tunnel lol. On top of that it basic window repositioning stuff actually works with OS hotkeys because it isn't some weird custom proprietary window. And it works out of the box with wine which means I can use it on linux which also has hotkeys!!! I'm so in love with this tracker...

Cheers If there's some shortcuts missing, you can always bring them up (like you already did). Long-term I want better keyboard-driven sample editing, but it requires a bit more effort.

Yeah I'd sort of been thinking about that too, that sounds like it'd be more complex given that editing a spreadsheet seems like a more easily hotkeyable task than sampling. Also I feel like more energy would be spent editing the pattern than the samples in most projects, so I can see why the pattern editor probably took priority. Although I've only really been writing chiptune with really basic NES samples so I wouldn't really have a good perspective on that lol, I use like 5 samples total and they're simply looped so I virtually do no sample editing. I'd use famitracker but I sort of wanted to learn a more general purpose tool rather than something just for chiptune. Anyways thanks! I'll let you know if I think of anything else, but to be honest it's pretty much solid as it is.
