Could "DEL" only delete selected take?

[StepOne]

Instead of deleting all takes at once? This would mean that clicking on one take would only highlight that specific take (rather then all takes). It seems more straightforward behavior to do it that way.

Anyone else agree?

[Dstruct]

i agree. makes more sense.

[Art Evans]

Just use Delete Active Take. Enable "show all takes in lane" for ease of working.

[StepOne]

I do use that option, but its a right click and a submenu away, whereas the del button is a directly accessible, single step :)

[Art Evans]

... or just set up your own keyboard shortcut - there are in fact two 'actions', with or without confirmation, available for this.

[One flew over]

I agree with StepOne. To me it seems like the most logic behaviour of pressing the DEL button.

Agreed. I wouldn't cuss at my monitor as much. +1

+1 yeeaaahh!
just a question > in this case how could the entire multitake item be completely deleted in one step?

Well Boka... you know it's kind of strange of Reaper not to be able to enable more than one take at a time. I guess it's also strange that you can't have selected more than one take.

CTRL + Clicking should be able to enable more than one take. Shift+clicking should function too. Drag+selecting should work also.

That'd be awesome if We could enable multiple takes at one time...

[Tallisman]

rightclick a stack of takes --> item settings -->play takes

= more than one enabled no?

enable free item position mode.
rightclick a stack of takes --> explode in place select and mute as you please.

I hate writing macros all the time ;)

This is sooooooo necessary!

I do hope this gets implemented :)

along with the standard CTRL and Shift functionality for selecting multiple takes.

it would make things faster! +1

[Jae.Thomas]

what about pressing ctrl+del to do it or soemthing?

easily enough set up in the keycommands

but still

actually you are totally right.

it makes sense that ONE key would delete ONE thing... and then a modifier would delete all.

[drew]

Yeah +1 here.. despite the mapping possibility I'd like to have Del mapped normally (focus dependent) and for it to behave as suggested.

[schwa]

And when you really need to delete *everything*, you can use ctrl-alt-delete.

[Till]

takes? i often get the feeling that people abuse 'takes' when what they should be using single take items in free item positioning mode ('select multiple takes', 'play all takes').

this is how i use takes: record, sucks, punch, sucks, ..., stop. listen to all takes, compare takes, select the best (least sucky) one, alt-shift-T, done.

if you go the other way around - always kick the worst take - the IMO that is such a repetitive task that a separate keystroke is very much fine.

and IF you bound 'delete active take' to DEL and 'delete item' to CTRL-DEL, there should be no problem: if you find out that you deleted just a take instead of the entire item(s), you don't have to undo. just remember ctrl-del, hit it, ease into the change, no pain.

[Wilkesin]

Also have to +1

I pretty much avoid macros, changing commands etc. I feel like software should just work intuitively and largely Reaper does. I use some themes and changed the 'R' button to record instead of having to use cntrl+R, but other than that, I love the way Reaper is setup.

This is one of my few little nitpicks...

[Susan G]

+1!

The current behavior took some getting used to, and it's such an obvious thing to want to do that it really shouldn't have, IMO. One of the things that made me go "Huh?", and I had to look it up!:) Any question or confusion about something as simple as this could be off-putting to someone just starting out with REAPER.

-Susan

[Tallisman]

I think that the current dell functionality is good but needs some tweaking - the smart tool/cursor + an infusion of AI.

If the item has focus... delete the item, not the track.
if the item has takes... delete the active/selected take.
add alt to delete the inactive takes.

It's the caveman's approach which I can sympathise with. See it, club it over the head, er, hit DEL, boof it's gone. Me want.

[Thehaxx]

+1 FTW!

Yes can we please add this. I still find takes confusing and this was part of my initial frustration with them!

[fiddler59]

Takes are still confusing as hell and have been since the beginning and I guess they always will be because the powers to be seem to ignore the threads relating to them. I think there must be something in the code base that prevents Cockos from addressing the takes issue......I hope i am wrong.

might this be more intuitive?

del = delete current take (if time selected - delete current time selection of take)

ctrl+del = delete all takes (if time selected - delete all takes of current time selection)

[labyrinth]

This is not a possible Feature Request, as you would not be able to delete items as most users would prefer. So, the only way to allow something like this is to have a modifier, such as CTRL + Delete do this.

Sub-menus is right

Most users prefer fewer keystrokes. Also, more than an item or a range of items, please consider a range of selection for delete or any other form of edit.

The action "Remove items/tracks/env pts" can become "Remove items/takes/tracks/env pts"
