Missing project navigation functions in MIDI editor

[Erriez]

In the actions list (shortcut ?) we can specify Section: "Main" or "MIDI editor". I'd like to use the numeric keypad for cursor movement in both modes. So I specified for Main:

Num 7 Markers: Go to previous marker/project end (40172)
Num 9 Markers: Go to next marker/project end (40173)

Num 4 Go to start of current measure (41041)
Num 6 Go to end of current measure (41040)

Num 1 Time selection: Set start point (40625)
Num 3 Time selection: Set end point (40626)

However, these functions are not available in the MIDI editor mode! Is this a known issue? Now I've created some Python scripts as workaround:

# Scripts\GoToNextMarker.py
# Go to next marker/project end
RPR_Main_OnCommand(40173, 0)

etc...

Is it possible to add these functions for the MIDI editor?

Thanks,

Erwin

Surely, that is an essential feature missing ! And I would use it were it available.

Yes, you can add those shortcuts you use in the Main view, to this action:

"Pass-through key to main window"

Now when you press your Num keys, the action that's bound to those keys from Main view will be executed. No need for Python scripts!

Can you please explain this in more detail? This is a great (undocumented) feature when it works, but I can't find it! Now I use about 20 Python scripts for this simple navigation in the MIDI editor...

In the MIDI Editor Actions List, find the action Pass Through Key To Main Window and assign to this one action all the keys that you want to be passed through.

E.g., if you have assigned Num 7 to previous marker and Num 9 to next marker in the Main window and you want to be able to access these same actions from the MIDI Editor Window, assign both Num 7 and Num 9 to the action Pass Through Key To Main Window.

Thanks, ED. This is a great feature.
