Copy and paste plugin settings
I tried creating a keyboatd macro command using "shift command C" and "Shift command V" to copy and paste plugin settinga in protools from one plugin to another, but it's not working.
How do I solve this?

You can do this with Macro actions.
Your first one (copy plugin settings) should look like this:Your second (paste plugin settings) should look like this:
Two things to keep in mind:
- you'll need to trigger these macros while pro tools is the focused app and
- the plugin has to be the focused window.
Triggering these macros from the SF editor won't work.
A more robust solution is to script it:
Here's the copy script:sf.ui.proTools.appActivate() sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.contains("Plug-in:").first.popupButtons.first.popupMenuSelect({ menuPath: ["Copy Settings"], });
And here's the paste script:
sf.ui.proTools.appActivate() sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.contains("Plug-in:").first.popupButtons.first.popupMenuSelect({ menuPath: ["Paste Settings"], });
These scripts can be run from the SF editor and don't rely on key presses which can be unreliable.

Awesom. Thank you. I forgot to use the "Press Key" macro preset. But I''ll use the provided script anyway.
Thank you
