Keyboard Shortcuts and Custom Commands

Adding Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts enable you to work faster by giving you the ability to execute common operations by typing combinations of keys on your keyboard, rather than having to click through the UI. The Keyboard Shortcut dialog allows you to configure most of the keyboard shortcuts in Wwise. The available commands are listed, by category, in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog with their associated shortcut key.

Hovering the mouse over a button or tool in the interface causes a tooltip to pop up. The tooltip gives a description of the tool and often its associated keyboard shortcut. Keyboard shortcuts are also visible in the menus.

Wwise also has other keyboard shortcuts not listed here because they are not editable. They are described along with their corresponding interfaces and workflows.

To show the Keyboard Shortcuts Dialog

  1. Go to menu: Project > Keyboard Shortcuts. OR

  2. Press Ctrl+Shift+K (default).

For each command in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, you can set one or many shortcut keys.

To assign a new shortcut to a command

  1. Select the command in the command list on the left.

  2. Click the New Shortcut edit box to place the keyboard focus on it.

  3. Press your shortcut on the keyboard. For example, to assign Ctrl+B to a command, press and hold Ctrl and press B.

  4. If a conflict is shown, choose another shortcut key or remove the conflict

  5. Click the Assign button.

To unassign an existing shortcut on a command

  1. Select the command in the command list on the left.

  2. Select the shortcut key you want to remove in the list on the right.

[Tip]Tip

To create a shortcut list for your own reference, you can follow the following steps:

  1. Open the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.

  2. Select the whole shortcut list (or press Ctrl+A).

  3. Press Ctrl+C to copy the shortcuts.

  4. Paste the tab-separated content in a spreadsheet application.

Adding Custom Commands from the Keyboard Shortcut Dialog

You can create your own shortlist of custom commands, which can be assigned to keyboard shortcuts, to accommodate and speed-up your workflows. This is done by saving your custom commands list to a .json file that is referenced by Wwise. Once loaded, your custom commands are displayed in the Keyboard Shortcut menu.

Wwise’s Keyboard Shortcuts menu facilitates creating, editing and reloading your custom commands.

To create a list of custom commands:

  1. Open the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.

  2. Press the Create button. You are prompted to select the location to save your list. Options are:

    • Create in Installation Folder (In the installation folder, under "Authoring\\Data\\Add-onsCommands")

    • Create in Project Folder (In the project folder, under "Add-onsCommands")

    • Create in User Folder (In the user data directory, under "%APPDATA%\\Audiokinetic\\Wwise\\Add-onsCommands")

  3. Select your preferred location. A file explorer window is opened and displays the commands.json file you’re about to create.

  4. Rename the file, if you wish, and click Save. The .json file is saved at the specified location and is automatically opened in your default editor.

    [Note]Note

    There can only be one .json file, per directory, used to define custom commands.

  5. Populate your list of custom commands and save the file. Refer to Defining Command Add-ons for information on how to define custom commands.

  6. Back in Wwise, click the Reload All button, to reload the latest changes to the .json file. Your custom commands are displayed in the Command List and you can assign keyboard shortcuts to them.

To edit a list of custom commands:

  1. Open the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.

  2. Press the Edit button. You are prompted to select the location of your .json file. Options are:

    • Edit in Installation Folder

    • Edit in Project Folder

    • Edit in User Folder

  3. Select the appropriate location. A file explorer window is opened and displays the .json file you created earlier.

  4. Select the .json file and click Open. The file is automatically opened in your default editor.

  5. Make your changes and save the file.

  6. Back in Wwise, click the Reload All button, to reload the latest changes to the .json file. Your custom commands are displayed in the Command List and you can assign keyboard shortcuts to them.
