To activate or deactivate a signal path on a track on the Input or Output path selector, which shortcut is used?

• A. OPTION+COMMAND-CLICK (Mac) or ALT+START-CLICK (Windows)
• B. CONTROL+COMMAND-CLICK (Mac) or CTRL+START-CLICK (Windows)
• C. COMMAND-CLICK (Mac) or CTRL-CLICK (Windows)
• D. SHIFT+COMMAND-CLICK (Mac) or SHIFT+START-CLICK (Windows)

Answer: (B)

Activating or deactivating a signal path in the I/O path selector uses a special click that includes multiple modifier keys. On a Mac, you hold Control and Command while you click the path; on Windows, you hold Ctrl and the Start (Windows) key while you click. This combination tells Pro Tools to toggle the active state of that specific input or output path without changing the selection itself. It’s handy for quickly testing routing by turning a path on or off as you work, rather than performing a standard click that would just select or open something. Other modifier combinations perform different actions, so they aren’t used for toggling the activation state.
