This profile's own key art, drawn by the same code that builds the files you install — and a starting point, not a fixed layout. Once it is imported, every key, folder and page is yours to move, rename, re-icon or delete in the Elgato Stream Deck app. What this page cannot be is the rest of the box: one theme of the ones it ships, two Stream Deck models of six, one platform's key combinations, and no dials.
Version history
Every published revision of this profile, newest first — what changed and why, in the maker's own words.
V2 Sep 8, 2026 Latest version
v2 - 2026-09-08 48 -> 133 keys, rebuilt against Ableton's own keyboard-shortcut manual for Live 12. Ten new folders: Clips, MIDI, Grid, Warp, Views, Panels, Focus, Devices, Browser, Mapping. The MIDI editor gets real coverage - quantize, chop, join, fit, draw mode, note filters. The grid folder sets every division and quantization value without a menu. Warp markers, transients and the two zoom levels are one tap each. Windows and macOS bindings were both machine-verified to encode before shipping, so no tile is dead on either platform.

Initial release of the Ableton Live Shortcut Profile. • 48 keyboard shortcuts across 9 categories • Three icon themes: Dark, Plain, and Brand • Folder navigation with category pages • Supports Stream Deck Neo, Classic / MK.2, XL • macOS and Windows keybindings

The layout is a starting point, not a lock.
Which operating systems does the Ableton Live profile support?
macOS and Windows. Each shortcut ships with its platform-specific key combination, so one profile covers both.
