Can’t believe you don’t have any comments yet. This is one of the best shortcut Ableton videos I’ve seen. Cheers.

This is great! Very straightforward and seems like you covered all the essentials! Ableton is a beast! I’ve been learning Fl the last 2 years and now I’m switching to Ableton since it’s more user friendly.

Is there a shortcut to move between windows? For example, if I'm in a track's device chain, and want to add a new device, is there a key to jump to the browser window, navigate my files and insert a device and then jump back to the device area?

It seems that opening and closing different windows does not actually put the cursor in that window. So i want to know how to move the cursor to different windows without the mouse.

Thank you.

How do you have that view of the timeline at the top of the screen?
