Topic: Select Deck (working deck) defaults to A
I'm not sure if I'm confused or if something changed inside my VirtualDJ Pro Infinity.

I have a custom mapping set for my keyboard in VirtualDJ2026, and I'm trying to jump 16 or 32 beats, but when I load a track into Deck B, it automatically selects Deck A as the working deck. When I load a track on Deck A, it automatically selects Deck B as the working deck. I have to manually click on Deck A, B, C, D to change the working deck. I don't like using the Tab key to cycle through the decks.

I seem to remember it would automatically select the working Deck if I performed any action on the deck, like a cue or play. I wasn't able to find the setting that controls this.

sounds like you have something mapped to ONSONGLOAD
 
I can't find any mapping to ONSONGLOAD at all. If I use the SWAP button, it automatically switches it to Deck C and Deck D, but I don't want to hit that button twice to select Deck A or Deck B. I have a Hercules Inpulse 200 connected to VDJ.

The title was wrong; it doesn't select A, it selects the opposite deck.
 
What scripts do you use on your custom mapper ?
