The perfect script doesn't exist.....
Actually, it does exist and to use it is very easy.
Add it to a key shortcut or as a toolbar.
Search for a plugin, and then choose a slot. Done.
ctrl+1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 for different number slots.
ctrl+ tilde / ' = last slot

It's a wonderful script and all but obviously not what this FR is about. Fixed FX slots mean that you can have, say REAEQ - EMPTY SLOT - REACOMP. This is something Reaper currently can't do, hence the FR.

True.
What's the use case? I'm not sure I can imagine actually needing that.

Putting certain plugs always at the end of the chain for example. Some of us want the same fx to line up across of the mixer (same slot), regardless of other fx in the chain.

I find it extremely useful for A/B-ing a mix. In Pro Tools you can mute/unmute all instances of a plugin with a single click by putting it in the same FX slot across all tracks. Quite handy when you're using something like Waves NLS to add saturation. Or if you want to bypass all compressors at once.

being able to leave slots empty also has visual interest and allows you to see more clearly in a busy session.
Fixed FX slots should be in V7 but I don't think it will be unfortunately. Reaper is capable of doing crazy or very complex things but cannot do certain basic things found in other DAWs (different color for pre/post sends is another example)

I posted a request today again because it seems they totally ignore this
https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=284057
I'm thinking about making a vote post in Reaper DAW Users and Reaper User Group - RUG on facebook but I'm afraid of attack of die-hard Reaper fans thinking Reaper has no flaws. It's pretty bad that we don't have this option in 2023. And the stupid """""workarounds"""" using dummy plugins are even more ridiculous. I want to speed-up my workflow, not to slow it down.

I find serious workflow need wins.
Bypassing a bunch of of the same plugin that sits on the same slot, i.e. the same location in an fx chain, across many tracks may be tempting.
For the most part you can already do that in the FX tab of the project bay. In fact, the Project bay is a good way to inspect and control a lot of things here.
If you want to keep several instances of an identical plugin on a track apart, ask for the ability to show 'renamed instances' of plugins separately. That's one thing Reaper cannot do and would make things a little easier to bypass and offline stuff in more targeted ways.
For example, I use two instances of Pro-Q3 on most tracks, one before, the other after a compressor. It's rare I want to bypass the pre-eq on all my dialogue tracks at once, but then again people are asking for such a capability for good reasons(I should hope).
Justin, Schwa , what's wrong with letting people do this stuff on a grid even if it's just one created with something YOU provide : 'plugin spacers'

Insane it was not implemented in vers 7
For example, I always want clipper or limiter last on some tracks in my mix template, It's easier to not have them in the template than to drag every other plugin before it manually, if its in the template.

How is this still not here!? I love Reaper but for those of us who like clean project layouts and quick workflow, not having this is such a hindrance.
- Makes placing certain FX that require specific positions easier
- Makes sessions MUCH easier to navigate
- Ability to bypass all FX across that slot like Pro Tools is sorely missed
Workarounds and dummy FX aren't really solutions because the whole point of this feature is to enhance workflow, not complicate it.

A possible solution has to preserve, i.e. not break current stuff.
To reiterate: we want to be able to arrange plugins on a grid when looking at the mixer view. We want there to be unoccupied plugin slots if necessary without taking away any ability to drag and drop any existing plugins from anywhere to anywhere else. We want to select, insert(shift all after slot down), bypass, replace, delete and offline plugins of a particular slot on selected or all tracks. So what do you do with scripts and extensions querying what are essentially empty slots in between the used ones ?
How about an internal plugin that - occupies any empty slot by default
- has no parameters, i.e. consumes almost no resources
- named "-" to name queries but looking exactly like insert slots do now in the MCP and TCP
- does not show up in the Project Bay FX tab
- just something that hands the samples off like the simplest JS plugin does
- can't be deleted with ALT+click because it would just get replaced by itself
- can be moved like any other to another slot, even across selected/all tracks
- when clicked on acts like empty slots act
Let’s say Reaper would present the user with as many slots in the FX chain as there is room in the GUI to show them. That means the user would need to be able to scroll past the current FX chain in the FX chain window, the TCP or MCP. An upper limit of 16 perhaps for starters, user preference.
The insert slots would have its own Mouse Modifier context to control actions so people can customize what they want done here. Slots present the opportunity to introduce actions to control bypass, online/offline, place/replace, insert, move and delete the contents of a slot across selected or all tracks natively with mouse modifiers.
