I wish you would do one about navigating around the arrangement view and midi editor, like for zooming in/out, moving, copying, deleting, replacing, resizing, locating things on the timeline quickly, moving the playhead, setting loop points, locators, etc, etc, with all the shortcuts you use. That’s the one thing I struggle with in every daw. It gets so frustrating, I don’t even want to open the daw and do anything. I always lose my creativity because I struggle with trying to do simple things like moving from sections of notes and trying to quickly edit. The scrollbars always make it feel way too floaty and imprecise, so I just end up really frustrated. Studio One is a bit worse than Live, but Live timeline navigation is quite the challenge for me as well. It sucks all the creativity out of me
I would go to the ableton website and look st the keyboard shortcuts and then practice them. They help massively with workflow which in turn improves creativity.
How do I use scale to only allow my keyboard to play notes within a chord progression specifically rather than just the scale, Basically could I fold a MIDI chord progression and improvise notes to play within the context of a chord progression?

You don't have to place one note per beat. Since they're never being played, just stack them on top of each other in one beat.
