Need help to set the "1" on my laptop to take me to beginning of current loop

[Huertaaj]

Hi all: My previous Win 10 laptop had a dedicated NumPad on the right side of the keyboard. I really got used to pressing the "1" on that keypad to take me to the beginning of the song I was working on. My problem now is that the new Windows 11 laptop that I have does not have a dedicated NumPad. Unfortunately, the numbers on TOP of the keyboard do not return the same code as the numbers on a dedicated NumPad so pressing the "1" does not do what I need it to do. So I bought an external USB keypad to fix the problem but that did not solve the problem. The numbers on that external keypad also don't send the right code either. So my question is as follows...

1) In "Keyboard shortcuts" on the new laptop what "function" do I search for so that pressing a specific key will send my cursor to the beginning of the song?

Once I know that I think I should be able to reprogram the "1" on top of my laptop keyboard to do what I need.

Thanks!

Oh well, I think I figured it out. The function is "Transport/Goto Loop Start".

I wanted to delete this post after I sent it but I can't figure out how to delete it. I think that once it is posted one can only delete the responses, not the original post.

Well, I think "Transport/Goto Loop Start" will actually only take you to the beginning of the song, if the loop start happens to be set to the beginning of the song.
"Return to zero" would always take you to the beginning of the song.

Hi Wolfger: You are correct but I don't always have my songs starting at zero.

Thanks for the comment!

You can always find the Keyboard Shortcuts via the menu: Help/Keyboard Shortcuts.
The default for NumPad1 is indeed "Transport / Goto Loop Start"

Exactly as you say Gerran. However, as I said above you have to use the "1" on the NumPad for that to work. If your laptop doesn't have a NumPad you're out of luck because the "1" on the top of your keyboard above the letters does not work for that. You need to reprogram that "1" on top of the keyboard for it to perform the expected function.

That's fairly easy to do. In the menu: Studio One/Keyboard Shortcuts you can find the command Goto Loop Start (that will bring you to the screen of the image in my previous post). There you can enter any other key of your preference to assign to the command. It is possible to assign multiple keys to the same command (so you don't have to remove NumPad1).
