Which keystroke combination writes a new breakpoint to the next automation value with Grabber?

• A. Shift
• B. Options+Shift (Mac), Alt+Shift (Win)
• C. Control (Mac), Start (Win)
• D. Command (Mac), Ctrl (Win)

Answer: (B)

Using the Grabber tool, you write a new breakpoint at the next automation value by pressing Option+Shift on Mac or Alt+Shift on Windows. This combination puts Pro Tools into a write mode where dragging or clicking inserts a new automation point at the next defined value, rather than moving an existing point. It’s a fast way to extend or refine the automation envelope while preserving the current breakpoints. Other modifier combinations perform different edit actions and do not create a new breakpoint in this mode.
