ME: width of Controller drop-down list
A small bit of housekeeping: in the MIDI Editor, can the drop-down (drop-up?) list be made a little wider to the left to cover up the left-hand edge of the piano roll?
<< Edit: picture removed as it was wrong >>
Now that I have noticed it, it looks scrappy.
-----------------------------------
And, yes, being able to widen the piano roll keyboard / note names column would be good.

Actually I'd rather like to be able to NARROW down the piano roll keys, and the CC dropdown down to just CC numbers.

Fine with the Keys ED but why the CC Menu? Does it have to be the Exact width of the Piano Roll?
Many of us get by fine with the CC#s but there are those who don't. I would think they could make the CC menu itself wide enough but still allow us to reduce the keyboard.

They could at least make those combo boxes have a wider drop down width so we can see all the text. You could set that from AHK or script with the CB_SETDROPPEDWIDTH flag, heres proof
Make Midi CC drop down widths 80 pixels wider...
Code:
hWnd = reaper.MIDIEditor_GetActive()
if hWnd then
pview = reaper.JS_Window_FindChild(hWnd, "midipianoview", true)
arr = reaper.new_array({}, 20)
reaper.JS_Window_ArrayAllChild(pview, arr)
kids = arr.table()
for i = 1, #kids do
kids[i] = reaper.JS_Window_HandleFromAddress(kids[i])
ret, left, top, right, bottom = reaper.JS_Window_GetRect(kids[i])
reaper.JS_WindowMessage_Post(kids[i], "0x0160", (right-left) + 80, 0,0,0) -- CB_SETDROPPEDWIDTH = 0x0160
end
end

It's stuff like this...and I still wonder...

Question: Ever considered hiring some grunts to churn out some of the more nitpicky or tedious requests your customers continuously beg you to implement? Or are there other ways you try to balance your Reaper vision with that of the community? I'm sure you are aware that this is one of the main criticisms of the dev team, so is there any sense of obligation toward ...[balancing the demands of the community with the desires of the devs?]

People will always nitpick about stuff no matter how much nitpicking you address. Also those requests aren't always just about tedious work, they often have effects on overall quality/design/maintainability.
Question: Adding to Poofox: it does seem R is getting more and more nitpicked and number of small but irritating bugs seems to be increasing. We can't possibly know how you work, but maybe R is indeed getting big enough to hire more devs?

I think people should stop trying to tell us how to do our jobs.

Btw, can a script like this do the same for the shortcuts in the actions list? It is so small it becomes pretty useless for listing MIDI shortcuts.

I get it, its not always simple to change the interface, and time spent changing & testing could be spent on more important things. But I don't see why the CC MIDI combobox dropdown couldn't be updated to be wider, that shouldn't effect anything thats already there.
v2.0 Move the labels out of the way, so Actions window can be smallest width, though the labels text is right aligned they don't line up very well, this is all a hack anyway, mainly posted for fun.

I get that, I mean things like this which are clearly deficient and worth the time to fix because they would increase everyone's productivity. There are so many rough snags like this in Reaper that could be ironed out for an overall smoother experience, but they go unaddressed for many years. I think it's the most common complaint I see about Reaper as well. But thanks for this script! It is working just fine.
