Automatically expand selected track?
OK, I've been so sure for some years now that there was this preference when you could just select a track and it automatically expanded to full track control. Same height it gets when you record-arm. Now, I've gone blind trying to find it in the Preferences Window, Action List, SWS Menus, etc...
I've got reliable shortcuts to select next/previous track, first/last track (actually, track 99), jump 10 tracks forwards/backwards. This morning I created some custom actions to go around this:
1) "Track:Go to next (or previous, first, next x10, 99, etc) track" + "Expand selected track height/minimize others". Tracks get way taller than I wanted so I gave up on this.
2) "Track:Set/clear all tracks automatic record-arm" and then select tracks. It works well, but the record-arm thing makes me uneasy, it just doesn't feel right when I'm simply editing or mixing.
Now I'm starting to think that I might be mixing things up and there never was that option and I may remember it from another DAW (Logic 5.5 for PC? go figure).
Any Reaper ace could please have some good news for me?
