A mixer customization and an action questions
I did quite a bit of googling but came up empty on these two questions, hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction!
1- When I have the mixer show FX if there is space, the various mixer track faders become different heights it seems depending if they are in a folder or not. Is there a way to say "the mixer should always show X inserts by default for all tracks"? I could always change the FX displayed for a particular track, but it'd be nice to be able to have everything by default with a much taller fader and all tracks be the same whatever they are.
2- Is there any way to put a "pause" in an action? I have an action where I show the FX for the current track, and then SWS:move its window to the mouse cursor, but I guess the action completes before the FX window is mapped, making it not move. Is there any way I could say add a 100ms pause to the action itself? Like a "sleep for X milliseconds" action or something.

1- after more googling I found that pressing control while changing fader height or fx/sends height makes all tracks the same, yay, that is what I needed

There are some 'Wait' Actions available. Just as example: Action: Wait 0.1 seconds before next action

In the Action List window: type 'wait' into the Filter field at the top to list only the Wait Actions.
Or are you looking for something else?

Do you mean the Custom Action which wdreamsmaycome uses to move the FX window?:

In this case try making a Custom Action with something like this (these Actions are part of the SWS Extensions):
Code:
SWS/S&M: Show FX chain for selected tracks (selected FX)
SWS/BR: Move active floating window to mouse cursor ...

Well, the Custom Action I mentioned should also work in a multi-monitor setup :
Select a Track. Then place the Mouse cursor on the second monitor first before triggering the Custom Action.
Another option to try is to drag the FX Window to the second monitor manually once - since the last window position should usually be remembered.
But you'll have to do this for each Track in the Project. And I can't remember exactly if this will always work (or if the window will open at a random position again at some point).

Are you on Windows or macOS?
And what Actions do you have currently assigned to your shortcut?
In general, keep in mind that there are two different Actions for 'move active window to mouse cursor' which are named very similar:
- SWS/BR: Move active floating window to mouse cursor ...
- SWS/BR: Move active floating track FX window to mouse cursor ...
