In this free video tutorial, Pro Tools Expert team member Julian Rodgers demonstrates a handy shortcut which zooms your MIDI to fit the editor.

Square Brackets Shortcuts

There are lots of zooming shortcuts based around the square brackets. I used to use Command+Square Brackets as my default method for horizontal zooming. I've migrated over to R and T in command focus but lots of people miss these altogether, maybe because they started with command focus keystrokes.

To zoom your MIDI to fit the editor use all four modifiers with open square brackets:

• Mac - CMD+Opt+Ctrl+[
• PC - Ctrl+Alt+Start+[

In the free video tutorial Julian demonstrates this and a few other well known but handy related shortcuts.
