Hi Zeynel & Ruhi,

great website, helps a lot – thank you. :)

I am on a macbookpro where available keys and shortcuts are sometimes different – as for example the one for "First bar"/"Go to first bar" in Guitar Pro 7:

Instead of:
Ctrl + Home
the shortcut on macbook pro is:
CMD + fn + <

Best,
Oli

Hello,

That's most probably because you're using a laptop and "home" key is "Fn + left" there. And this page is Windows only. I'll be adding macOS shortcuts of Guitar Pro in a few days.

Take care.

TAB alternates between note selection on either staff or tab. It speeds up adding suggested finger position numbers on the staff.

Shift + and Shift - do not work on GP7.
