C1 documentation & tips
There are understandably many posts requesting that C1 be changed to include this or that function or to perform existing functions in another way.
Whilst everyone feels their request to be most important (me included) obviously they can't all be done at once.
In quite a few instances of feature requests there are ways to achieve the desired end already available in C1. I have found this to be so on a number of occasions with respect to my own desires and it only needs me to stop expecting C1 to perform like it's alternatives.
With this in mind might it not be useful for David Gower to sift out these situations from the forum posts and produce short articles or videos to respond to them. These could be made available through the Image Quality Professor's website.
For my own part I should like to have available a comprehensive list of default shortcuts so that when assigning my own I know what shortcuts are "free" or what I may be overwriting.
Another piece of documentation I would find valuable would be a comprehensive list of those functions which cannot be performed even when "all variants" is set.
In short, a regular posting of "hints and tips" may well aid people in finding out the C1 way of handling things they need to do and some additional documentation would be very useful.

Two comments:
1) When you open the keyboard shortcut dialog box and try to enter a user-specific shortcut the system will tell you if it is already in use.
2) If you look in the user Library/Application Support/Capture One/KeyboardShortcuts you will find an xml file with all of the shortcuts and their associated command relationships.
I also believe I have seen this in the Help file but could not find it with a short look this morning.0 -

Well, that is certainly simpler.0 -
Many thanks for your responses but as far as I can see there is no xml file at the location you specify, whilst the customise keyboard shortcuts does show if the intended user shortcut is in use this then becomes a case of trial and error to find any unused ones.
The keyboard shortcuts summary in the help menu is not comprehensive as it at least does not show those for the tools themselves. It only lists those for the functions available to be user allocated and therefore I am not confident that this is a comprehensive list either.

The file suffix is plist, but that is in xml format. It can be opened with a text file like Text Edit, although the text will display as xml and is easy to read.
There are several alternative ways to open and examine the file. If it makes it easier for you I can create a screen shot from the file and that should give you the information it contains, but it may not be arranged as you wish.
UPDATE:
I opened the file, took a screen shot of both parts of it (as would display on my screen), pieced them together and created a jpg from that. If you wish to look at the contents of the plist file without having to work through the xml you can look at this:
This the the default from version 9.0 -
Thanks for taking the trouble to publish this information. Having viewed the file I would say that much of it I do not understand.
My criticism is that it should not require delving into the file system or the level of knowledge necessary to read the subsequent file information to obtain fairly basic information about the functioning of C1.
We are not all as conversant with computer stuff, I for one do not think it should be necessary to be so in order to use an application.
The use of an application should be plainly available to anyone used to using computers as I do all day and every day.
Thanks again.

I agree with the OP, these simple bits of documentation are either missing, or too difficult to find. Much is made of C1's versatile user interface, but a full list of keyboard shortcuts would be great - there are a few things I've tried to assign to shortcuts before and not been able to, although I don't recall now what they were. 0 -
Help > Keyboard Shortcut Summary - will show you, your adjusted shortcuts. 0
