Modifier + Click on ParameterKnob = Show/Hide EnvLane
Show and hide envelope lanes by modifier+clicking on its control knob.


Parameter knobs are a sweet deal for accessing parameters quickly. That's all they do however, but they could provide access to more functionality.

Taken so far is the combo "Alt+click" on a parameter knob, which deletes it.

The new idea is to enable people to show the envelope lane associated with that knob with another modifier+click command, and not only that but also to hide that envelope again.

The same could be said for the volume, pan and mute controls on the TCP and MCP of course. The usual way to access those is to use either show/hide actions if available, open the envelope window which is two complete locate and click operations or even worse, right-click on the envelope button and find the parameter in a larger list that expands to several submenus if you're accessing plugins parameters.

Quick Access

It comes in form of one locate and click operation on controls that found a little more quickly. If the buttons could be tinted quickly and easily it would be even faster.

Modifier+click to show, hide, show, hide.

It could be mouse modifier context or static.

Note:
The inspiration for this came from Protools. It uses two(three if you want this to happen on all tracks) modifiers to access this kind of thing for anything you can click at(CTRL+Win on Windows, CTRL+Cmd on Mac, add ALT to them to do it to all tracks) to display the envelope lane of that parameter. I use it at least a hundred times a day to gain fast access to volume, pan and plugin parameters. For the plugins you perform the click on a control on the plugin, which isn't possible in VST land iirc. So the next best thing are the FX parameter knobs we can put up in Reaper.
