How to disable Razor All Clips tool

Report · Dec 04, 2020

I never use Razor All Clips tool, but am often frustrated when in multitrack mode I toggle it on accidentally by clicking on R when already in razor mode. I only ever want to razor one track at a time. Is there a way to disable Razor All Clips??

You can stop the toggling when you press the R key very simply - by removing the keyboard shortcut for it. But you can't get rid of the option altogether, no.

Sorry, but that doesn't help as I still need to toggle from select mode (V)
to single track razor mode (R)

I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill - just leave it as it is and hit the R key again - it toggles between the two modes anyway. You can hop backwards and forwards between V and R, and it should remember which R setting it was on, but it really doesn't matter - if R's on the wrong one, just hit it again!

This might seem minor to you, but it's incredibly annoying and frankly a bit ridiculous that we can't unbind the tool (since it technically isn't even bound to R).

The issue isn't a matter of "oh whoops, just press R again!" The problem is the fact that users can make several cuts, then only realize after the fact that twelve tracks have just been accidentally sliced into ribbons. The software shouldn't assume that you want both tools bound together and force you into it - that's terrible UX.

Try resetting the Keyboard Preference for R so that it picks up Razor Selected Clips instead of the setting that cycles though the tools.

You're probably long past needing a solution, but...

– Go to Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts and type 'razor' in the search

– Remove the shortcuts for 'Razor' and instead apply it to 'Razor Selected Clips Tool'

It looks like 'Razor' is the toggle between both tools and 'Razor Selected Clips Tool' is the main tool you need.

If you read the previous post, you'll find that this has already been suggested.

As I said earlier in the thread, you cannot turn this tool - or any other tool come to that - off.
