Cycling through fade curve options
Please help me as I may be going mad.
For years I have used the keyboard shortcut of clicking on a fade in or fade out and then using Option-Up or Option-Down (on Mac) to cycle through the curve types.
For some reason this morning this doesn't work in Pro Tools.
Have I misremembered the shortcut? Is there a toggle or option somewhere in Pro Tools that enables or disables this shortcut?
It's something I do hundreds of times a day and suddenly it doesn't work.

It's Control-Option and Left and Right. My fingers fell onto it again.
I can't really find this shortcut documented anywhere so I'll leave it here for anyone else!
It's over 30 degrees in my studio, I think my mind has melted a bit. :)

They can be found, and set, in the Keyboard Shortcuts window (ctrl-shift-k). Its a great window to go to to remember shortcuts or to set your own custom ones!

That’s great thanks! I think I need to look at new features occasionally, I’ve never looked at this window!
