# The Sequencer Grid
|
|
|
|
The sequencer grid is the main view of Cagire. This is the one you see when you open the application. On this view, you can see the step sequencer grid and edit each step using the `code editor`. At the top, you can optionally display an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer.
|
|
|
|
## Navigation
|
|
|
|
Use arrow keys to move between steps. The grid wraps around at pattern boundaries. You can move in any direction.
|
|
|
|
## Preview
|
|
|
|
Press `P` to enter preview mode. In preview mode, a view-only code editor opens so that you can see the script of the currently playing step. While in preview mode, you can still move around the grid. Press `Esc` to exit preview mode.
|
|
|
|
## Selection
|
|
|
|
Hold `Shift` while pressing arrow keys to select multiple steps. Press `Esc` to clear the selection.
|
|
|
|
## Editing Steps
|
|
|
|
- `Enter` - Open the script editor.
|
|
- `t` - Toggle step active/inactive.
|
|
- `r` - Rename a step.
|
|
- `Del` - Delete selected steps.
|
|
|
|
## Copy & Paste
|
|
|
|
- `Ctrl+C` - Copy selected steps.
|
|
- `Ctrl+V` - Paste as copies.
|
|
- `Ctrl+B` - Paste as linked steps.
|
|
- `Ctrl+D` - Duplicate selection.
|
|
- `Ctrl+H` - Harden links (convert to copies).
|
|
|
|
`Linked steps` share the same script as their source. When you edit the source, all linked steps update automatically. This is an extremely important and powerful feature. It allows you to create complex patterns with minimal effort. `Ctrl+H` is your best friend to manage linked steps and convert them to real steps.
