The following set of actions bound as one custom action works like a charm
and it is almost exactly what I had in mind!!
Only unlock & arm the track under the mouse
Code:
Track: select all tracks
Track: Set automatic record-arm when track selected
Track: Lock track controls
Track: Select track under mouse
Track: Unlock track controls
I tend to be rather careless and unawarely move things or change fader positions or mute/solo tracks or delete items that I don't want to make any changes to. By utilizing this custom action, the likelihood of such unintended results would be minimized, I am sure.
Once again, thank you so much for your quick and kind input!
