Only problem I have with alt shortcuts is they sometimes are nonfunctional unless you click on the main screen for window focus. I downloaded TGTo...

Hi, I used Finale on OS X for many years, and am missing a critical feature as I have migrated to Windows. Before, I could press some combination of keyboard modifiers (control + cmd, maybe?), and then press a key on the middle row of the keyboard (A, S, D, F...etc), then select a Tool via a small p...
