I assume everyone is here to contribute, find information and/or help others. I haven't seen that many custom keyboard shortcuts posted. Posting them could possibly help someone that is trying to get into VDJ. I was one and it was difficult to find keyboard shortcuts that weren't already in the default settings. People use VDJ for different reasons(I use it to screw and chop music) and might find a shortcut they didn't know about(or even think of) that could help them. So, I will post the ones I have accumulated, hopefully others will participate and find some shortcuts they could tryout. Just copy and paste them. Documents\VirtualDJ\Mappers. Find your saved setting and open the xml file with notepad (For those that don't know where to find it)

I recently returned to VDJ from Serato so I am currently in the process of making a custom keyboard mapping that replicates the keyboard mapping in Serato. You can find what I have done so far below:

@gstrib
You should try the "Optional" default mapping. It should provide what you need
@anyone else is willing to share a custom keyboard mapping..
Not all users can read and interpret VDJ script actions. So if you want to share your keyboard mapping files you will need to..
- Upload your mapping files to our Plugins page http://www.virtualdj.com/plugins/upload.html and let Team to review and approve for all users.
- Provide a quick image/pdf instructions file explaining what each key does.
Posting the content of the file here (in Forums) is not the best choice,

Is anyone else having issues streaming tracks off the browser?

@Djdad I thought only the mappers for controllers were uploaded. I haven't seen any keyboard shortcuts, unless I'm missing something

@Djdad I thought only the mappers for controllers were uploaded. I haven't seen any keyboard shortcuts, unless I'm missing something
The fact that no one has uploaded any custom keyboard mapping so far, doesnt mean that u cannot upload one ;)
But definitely some Readme.txt is needed

I could do do with a readme file to accompany my official Atomix XDJ R1 mapping.
I have practically nothing.
The effects on that official mapping can rapidly produce a complete freeze.
OK I accept that Atomix's must focus their efforts on the most popular controllers.
I'm quite good with mappings, but god help anyone who isn't, and who buys a XDJ R1.
Hence I would argue that any involvement with the mappings is good.
In my case it makes the XDJ R1 not just usable, but excellent.
I won't be alone in having a controller with less than perfect support.
This is not a criticism of VDJ, I realize there is just too much hardware to offer perfect support.
We can customize our own systems.
This is a VDJ strength !
Note: Yet again I have rejected the official XDJ R1 mapping in favor of my own modified mapping with its drastic simplifying changes to the whole effects section, and not just one button.

My point is "Hence I would argue that any involvement with the mappings is good."
I would prefer to see what DJ's are trying to do with the mappings without having them vetted by Atomix staff.
I don't mind if they contain errors.
It gives us a chance to learn.
I'll post my keyboard mapping here shortly.
On topic.
What happened to the Akai APC mini mapping I posted ?
I put a lot of effort into that, and I suspect it just disappeared after being submitted.
DJDad said "Provide a quick image/pdf instructions file explaining what each key does."
I think in that case Atomix should practice what they preach, my XDJ R1 has no documentation for VDJ8. None.
That's if your speaking on behalf of Atomix.

We are doing our best ... http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/PDFManuals.html
Some of the most popular and recent units already have. (off topic)
But even if some dont, this doesnt mean that users dont need to provide instructions for the custom mappings they upload (back to topic)

I know !
One of the reasons why VDJ is great software is because it can be customized by the user to run on a vast range of hardware.
Atomix cannot be expected to perfectly support all the hardware on the market.
We the users need to get stuck into the mappings.
Any help that the users can provide in explaining their mappings is of course welcome, but it should not be a condition for posting.
Any help is better than none.
Atomix are understandably protective of their mappings, yet we (the users) can end up with non functional hardware if Atomix become too secretive. It's a tricky balance.
