SHIFT + TAB Toggle between device view and clip view (what do you want to see? Your
effects and synths or your MIDI editor?)

CMD + A select all (select all notes or clips)

B Draw mode (do you need your pen?)

CMD+D Duplicate (you can quickly copy your clips/tracks/scenes/MIDI note)

CMD+1/2/3/4 Adjust grid size (Are you programming short MIDI notes or long ones? )

CMD+ S = Save (Ableton continuously saves your work in progress but you never know)

CMD + J consolidate selection into clip (The programmers favourite tool)

CMD + L Loop selection (Highlight the background and loop it)

CMD + R = Rename selected clip/track (Keeping things tidy)

alternative)

pan pots)
