I use 1 monitor and i get in midi editor by pressing Enter (like in cubase). I and i use it lot of times, constantly.
If you noticed in the gif the settings i am clicking don't persist between multiple midi editions (open/close), and so it is very tedious to take advantage of editing multiple items by project.
I don't have a second monitor to keep editor open. (midi editor and fx browser, and routing panel, etc tend to be visible 1 at a time)
So since latest reaper changes take similar things in account i would like to ask if you could consider keeping this settings too. Otherwise midi editor and all capabilities are complex without any real advantage over a simple midi editor.
if that is not possible, any chance to at least make the visibility persisting for this example? the reference track persist visibility or a specific track gets always visible to work as a reference.
edit: i have been thinking! and concluded what i am missing is that when using ENTER to open midi editor would be useful if we had something like this action and option instead:
Item: Open in built-in MIDI editor or turn visible if exists
Midi editor option: escape in midi editor turns editor invisible (instead of closing)
So that our changes of track visibility and editability dont get lost when using ENTER, since what we really want is to temporarily have focus on the rest of project and get back soon to the editor.
Justin, schwa, and all : don't you agree?
