Scene shift

[Mike LCS]

Hi Matt and everyone,

I’ve been using LightJams for a while and I love how flexible it is, but I’m struggling with one thing during programming:

Is there a simple way to switch between Scenes while editing?

Right now the only method I found is:
Add → Scene/Grid → Cancel → and then I can select a different Scene.
This is very slow and breaks the workflow, especially when I’m working with multiple Scenes and need to jump back and forth quickly.

So my question is:
Is there a shortcut, hotkey, or any quicker way to switch Scenes in the editor without going through the “New Scene/Grid → Cancel” dialog every time?

Or maybe there is a hidden panel or a navigation trick that I haven’t discovered yet?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

To see the grid manager, you can use the View/Grids menu. The keyboard shortcut is ctrl+g. You can navigate to the different grids of the current group with the ctrl+number shortcut (1 for the 1st grid, 2 for the 2nd, etc.). There's also the View/back and View/Forward menu items that are useful to go back and forth between grids.

You can also double-click on an activation attribute on a grid to automatically go to the other grid.

Hi Mathieu,

thank you for the quick and detailed reply – the explanation about the View/Grids menu, the grid manager and the ctrl+number shortcuts is very helpful. This will make it much faster to jump between the different grids while programming a scene.

One follow-up question: is there also a recommended way or keyboard shortcut to quickly switch between groups/scenes within the same project? I often jump back and forth between scenes while building a show and would love to streamline that part of the workflow as well.

Thanks again for Lightjams and for your support, I’m using it to run a full rock band show and it’s an amazing tool.

Ml, Mike

To go back and forth between grids, you can use the View/Back and View/Forward menu items. The shortcuts ate alt-left and alt-right.
