Default Hitting Home button with plugin active

This action loads the first preset in the plugin instead of going back to the beginning of the song. Very annoying.

What are you referring to with "home button"?
If you mean the transport rewind or stop buttons, I cannot reproduce this.

The home button on a normal computer keyboard.

OK I hope I know what you mean.
Are you referring to the rewind or stop key in Reapers transport?

I thought you were describing a key on your keyboard, not a transport button.

Also, is this just one particular plugin that behaves this way & if so what is it?

"Home" on a computer keyboard which usually lives near "End", "Insert", "Del", "Page Up", "Page Down".

To the OP, if you are saying it is tied to an action you don't want, go into actions and remove/change the key binding for the Home key.

The transport button is already mapped to the Home button, which is correct. However, when the plugin screen is active, home no longer works the same way. I don't see any other mappings for the Home button.

It would be nice to be able to rewind to the start of the project while the plugin window has focus. That way I don't have to click out of the plugin window to rewind. I tried a couple plugins and they all behaved the same way.

Got it. I can't seem to repro here. My simple test was to load up ReaEQ, choose a preset, hit the Home key but it moves the play cursor back to the beginning as it should and nothing happens with the plugin presets.

I thought there may be a setting for this concerning keystroke pass through but can't remember if/where it is... and/or is it for any VST you use?

It may be this, make sure it is unchecked...

It is unchecked. Make sure you click on the plugin window before you try hitting home, and I tried it under ReEQ and ReaComp and same issue.

I totally forgot I only use nano keyboards on the PC & the standard Mac keyboard doesnt have any of those keys that I can see....

Neither of my wireless KBDs even have a numpad either... Sorry for the confusion.

And yep, Karbo - I seem to remember someone else having this problem with plugin focus and it being a passthru issue, but I cant recall what the solution was either!

Sorry, OP.

In general, I'm not very happy with the shortcut focus stealing. For example, I mapped forward and rewind to the + and - keys on the keyboard. Ever time I open up a plugin GUI, the transport does not work anymore (Space works, though). I disabled the keyboard input on the plugin windows, but it does not help.

Confirmed. I suppose this is something I never really deal with because I've used a control surface for transport and cursor positioning for years now which by passes all focus of anything and everything - even works when the computer is locked.
