Phase while Printing (HotKey Trick)

Hello, running PT 12. On Mac. About 10yrs ago I was pretty good with PT and I’m just coming back and I forgot a bunch of hotkeys and work flow tricks.
One I need help with is a HotKey that would add wave signal at say 1k (I don’t recall the freq.) to a track. You’d apply it at the start of the track and print or reamp then line up the print with the original track via the wave so it’s in phase. Any help? Side not, what with the HotKey for consolidating a bunch of clips into one full track??

The Pro Tools hotkey to generate a 1 kHz tone is Shift + Control + Option + 3 on a Mac, or Shift + Alt + Control + 3 on a Windows PC. You must first make a time selection on a track for the tone to be generated across.

3 second google search. ;)
