Current Key Map indicator
The key map currently loaded into BFD2 is shown here.
If no map has been loaded, the factory default BFD 2.0 key map is indicated.
If you have made any modifications to the current map since it was loaded, an asterisk is shown next to the current keymap
name.
Import BFD1 Map
This function is provided in case you are a previous BFD 1.x user, and already have a custom
keymap that you would like to use in BFD2. Clicking the button opens a system file open dialog
in your BFD/Keymaps folder. If necessary, navigate to the location of the required keymap,
select it and click the Open button. The keymap is converted to BFD2 format and added to the database. A default image is used
for the map.
Load Auto Map Too
With this button enabled, loading a key map also loads an automation map with the same name
if it exists in the <user location>/Maps folder. If no automation map exists with the same name,
the current automation mappings are unchanged.
Load / Cancel buttons
To load the currently selected key map, click the Load button.
You can also load any key map in the listing by double-clicking it.
If you change your mind and decide you don’t want to load a new key map, click the Cancel button.
Keyboard operation
You can navigate around the available keymaps with the cursor (arrow) keys.
The selected keymap can be deleted from the database by pressing the DELETE key.
Load the selected keymap by pressing the RETURN or ENTER key.
To exit the key map chooser panel without loading anything, press the ESC key.
Info
The info area displays information about the currently selected keymap.
Photo
The large key map photo, representing the hardware or software it supports, is especially
useful if you are using the ‘List’ or ‘Details’ views.
Info
The info display shows any relevant information provided with factory-made keymaps.
Key map loaded when BFD2 is launched
When an instance of BFD2 is launched, it reloads the last key map that you loaded.
However, if you have specified a startup preset in the BFD2 Data preferences, the key map
contained within it overrides the last map that was loaded.
