Using these in my own templates
Hey Owen! Hope this finds you well.
I'm still in the process of creating my character cues deck. So far, with your help, I've been able to create a template that allows me to select a track (as defined by the property Track Name), create a clip group and switch over to EdiCue.
If that character hasn't been imported into my session yet, I'd like to press command and have a new track created with that character's name.
I can do that on a character by character basis inside your template, but I'd like to create a template that is as simple as the one I've created (just have to enter the track name)

Hey bud,
Yeah you deff actually want to work this into the code of your own template instead of using this one.
Here's the link to the original forum post where I learned how to build this template : Templating If/Or/Else what am I doing wrong?
Here's the slimmed down code for just no modifier and command that you'd work into your own template.
const modifierState = event.keyboardState.asString switch (modifierState) { case "cmd": log("Command is held down"); /// YOUR HOLD COMMAND CODE GOES HERE break case "": log("No Modifiers are held down"); //// YOUR NO MODIFIER CODE GOES HERE break };
Then you can template out from there, ideally with a single STRING Property for both the scroll to track or the create new track.
Sense making?
Owen
ps. When I'm not swamped I'm definitely going back to my ADR cuing Package and doing some updates from what we've been discussing.
pps. as the Original forum conversation mentions for anybody else seeing this. This will ONLY WORK on a Deck or surface. Not with keybindings.
