How can I open the New Memory Location window in Pro Tools WITHOUT using Number Pad Enter?
By T Francis @T_Francis
I use separate play & stop keys (Number Pad Enter is Play and Number Pad 0 is Stop), so to open the New Memory Location dialogue, I have to hold Number Pad Comma then press Number Pad Enter.
Is there a way (via a script) to either call upon the window directly, or otherwise to use the alternate key command?
Many Thanks!

There are two ways to do this.
- You can reassign the keyboard shortcut in PT:
- Or you can use this script
(Delete the last line if you want the memory locations window to remain open):
const memoryLocationsWindow = sf.ui.proTools.memoryLocationsWindow.invalidate() const isMemoryLocationsWindowOpen = memoryLocationsWindow.exists; // Open Memory Locations window if (!isMemoryLocationsWindowOpen) { sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({ menuPath: ["Window", "Memory Locations"] }) } // Wait for Memory Locations window sf.waitFor({callback: () => memoryLocationsWindow.exists }) // Create new memory location const memLocationsPopup = memoryLocationsWindow.popupButtons.whoseTitle.is("Memory Locations").first; memLocationsPopup.popupMenuSelect({ menuPath:["New Memory Location..."] }) // If Memory Locations window was closed, close it (Delete this line to keep window open) if (!isMemoryLocationsWindowOpen) memoryLocationsWindow.windowClose()

Great, this seems to work well!
