Bitmud's Ableton Live Hotkeys
-------------------------------
This hotkey tool was written and compiled with AutoHotKey - http://www.autohotkey.com/
It's purpose is to make some Live internal shortcuts more comfortable and to make sure
that playback isn't accidentally stopped during a live performance on stage (Stage Mode).

It was inspired by the "Definitive Live 6 Script" by rozling. Though this tool uses almost the
same (but fewer) hotkeys, it's a complete rewrite because the code from rozling's script was
a bit messy and I wanted to be able to switch modes for the spacebar.
If you need more hotkeys visit the Ableton Forum and check out the "Definitive Live 6 Script"

----------- HotKeys -----------
The following hotkeys are only active when Ableton Live is focussed:

Space			Pause/Resume Play (Standard Mode)  -  Toggle clip/device view (Stage Mode)
Shift + Space		Start/Stop (acts like the standard Space mode)
Ctrl + F		Find (swapped with the shortcut for 'follow')
Ctrl + Shift + F	Follow (swapped with the shortcut for 'find')
Page Up			Undo (for faster access)
Page Down		Redo (for faster access)
Alt + Pause		Toggles Stage Mode On/Off
Pause			Suspends all hotkeys shown above (press Pause again to reactivate)

Ctrl + R (rename) and Ctrl + F (find) deactivate Stage Mode until 'Return', 'Escape'
or 'NumPad Enter' is pressed. This is to prevent the spacebar not working while typing.


Stage Mode and Pause can be selected using the tray-icons context menu, double-clicking the
icon also toggles Stage Mode on/off. A brief overview of the shortcuts is available in the
tools help box.

---- Stage Mode on startup ----
If you want the Stage Mode on startup, you just have to add the parameter "/stagemode" when
opening the executable. You can do so by inserting a shortcut to the exe on the desktop,
opening the properties and adding the parameter "/stagemode" or adding this to the program
call in a batch.
You can find an example batch in the same directory of the exe and this readme.

Use this tool at your own risk! It works flawlessly for me, but there's no guarantee that it
does for you. I can't be held responsible if it crashes your computer or does any other
unwanted things (interferes with other hotkey-tools etc.)
