Yeah, I wasn't being crazy yesterday with my assumptions.
In REAPER 4.x (I've tried five different versions), everything works fine with that script I mentioned.
Also 5.0 doesn't exhibit the issue I mentioned earlier (works fine).
I will now install several 5.x versions (think I'll do a binary search
), until i find where it went wrong.
Will report later.
Edit:
Ok, it is 5.28.
And it makes sense, since this is clearly documented in the changelog (guess I missed this when 5.28 came out):
"Virtual MIDI keyboard: toggle (not just set) option when running action to send all input to keyboard .
Virtual MIDI keyboard: allow text field input even when using send all input to keyboard
Virtual MIDI keyboard: pass through unbound keys when using send all input to keyboard and VKB lacks focus "
The second option is pretty damn great. The first and the third one ... not so much.
Devs, can this be fixed somehow, please?
Keep this:
"Virtual MIDI keyboard: allow text field input even when using send all input to keyboard"
... but revert these two:
"Virtual MIDI keyboard: toggle (not just set) option when running action to send all input to keyboard .
Virtual MIDI keyboard: pass through unbound keys when using send all input to keyboard and VKB lacks focus"
.... to their pre-5.28 state.
