Default Insert Marker Window does not open

hi All,

when i add a Marker with shortcut "M" the little window where i can write the marker name/change colours/etc does not open anymore. This happened from one day to another in the same project. I used to work with this workflow a lot and i am really missing the window not comming up since this slows down my workflow very much.

Has anyone had the same issue before and a solution for me maybe?

I do mostly break down songs into cuelists with reaper, so iam not a pro but i do this since years already and iam not a newbe also
:-)

TIA
Michael

Try Shift M

(but if you like you can edit the Action List and change it to just M)

That is very odd. I was inserting markers and opening marker edit by pressing m just last week. Got it back now but strange that it changed.

m: insert unnamed marker
Shift-m: insert marker with marker dialog box

It's been this way since Reaper vers. 3

I have swapped the keystrokes around so that M is insert and edit marker and shift M is insert marker. That works fine for me.

I am just slightly worried that I may have been using shift M previously but have misremembered. I had a stroke seven years ago and that sort memory, including muscle memory thing is very scary when it happens because there is nothing in my brain to be recalled apart from the false memory.

solved! this came probably from a template change where the keyboard mapping was changed also, i did not realize that keyboard mappings change in template changes too.

thank you all for pointing me in the right direction!
