Must Know: FL Studio Hotkeys

There's some joy and excitement about finding hotkeys within your DAW by accidentally hitting a key, or multiple keys, at once. So yesterday I was messing around with a new beat in progress, right. I was playing around with my recorded MIDI notes in FL Studio's piano roll window. I was trying to find a way to bring up the velocity of all the selected notes simultaneously when all of a sudden... BOOM I literally got it by trying random stuff. You want to know how I did it? Watch out foo's here comes the mastermind trick:

Go to your piano roll window and select all the notes (ctrl+a) you just programmed. 

Take your mouse and hover over any note currently being selected.  

Now press "alt" and scroll your mouse wheel up or down and... MAGIC! 

YES!! workflow improvement 100%... Can I hear a WOOP WOOP

To celebrate this week's "biggest accomplishment", I decided to lay down some of my favorite hotkeys that you may or may not already know.
