Which keystroke combination scrolls a track name into view by selecting the track nameplate in either window?

• A. Shift+Control-Click (Mac) or Shift+Start-Click (Windows)
• B. Option+Click on the track nameplate
• C. Command+Click on the track name in the Track List
• D. Double-click the track nameplate

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is a navigation shortcut that combines selecting a track with scrolling to bring that track’s nameplate into view in either window. When you hold the Shift key and click the track nameplate, the track is selected and the window scrolls so that the nameplate is visible again in both the Edit and Mix windows. On a Mac that means Shift+Control-click; on Windows it’s Shift+Start-click. This makes it quick to jump to a specific track in long sessions without manual scrolling. Other actions don’t guarantee bringing the chosen track into view. For example, Option+Click on the track nameplate, double-clicking the nameplate, or clicking from the Track List can perform different tasks (like selecting, opening, or toggling settings) but not the explicit scroll-to-view navigation provided by the Shift+modifier click.
