10 Shortcuts to Show/Hide Views in Ableton Live

It’s always good to use shortcuts as they can be real time savers and enable better and faster workflows. The following shortcuts are all about showing, hiding or switching between different views in Ableton Live. They’re essential for anyone who uses Ableton Live with a smaller screen. Apart from the first and the last three, they follow an easy to remember pattern. Cmd (Mac)/Ctrl (Win)+ Alt + first letter of the view, e.g. B is for Browser, R is for Returns, M is for Mixer… My most often used shortcuts are for the last three, switching between Session and Arrangement View, between Device and Clip View, as well as opening the Preferences window.
