Accidentally hit a key causing waveform window to fill entire screen

[MikeHarrison]

In Audition CS6 on my Mac, I accidentally hit a key (I don't know which one) which caused the waveform window to fill my entire screen, blocking out the rest of my Workspace windows. I can't find anything about it in the Audition reference PDF or in Keyboard Shortcuts, making it necessary to quit Audition and relaunch to start over.

Does anyone know what key would've caused this and whether it can be disabled? Thanks.

You're going to need a Mac user to tell you if there's an easy answer to this - but I have to say that if you did this in Windows, it wouldn't be an Audition function at all, but an OS one... I can see no obvious keystroke definition for doing this in Audition's list, and I believe that functionally these are the same in the Windows and Mac versions. Hopefully a Mac user will be along, but I have to say we don't have that many of those.

Thanks, Steve but, with respect, if this were an OS issue, it would be very odd that it would select and maximize only the waveform portion of my Audition screen and not anything else. And, while investigating further (by typing screen, window, view and maximize into the search field in Keyboard Shortcuts, I found the answer:

Keyboard Shortcuts>Window>Maximize Active Frame ` (backtick character; under the tilde[~]) Toggles the active frame between maximum and normal.

I intially thought I'd accidentally hit a key in the upper-right portion of the keyboard, when what really happened was that a finger on my left hand hit the key under Escape (the tilde and backtick).

Problem solved. But thanks for responding so quickly anyway!

Yes, I should have spotted 'waveform window'... 😞
