Key toggle monitoring fx

[geoslake]

Hi guys, I have my F key assigned to "show monitoring fx". It's fine, but to get rid of this window I have to focus it if I clicked on something else in the meantime, then press esc.
I'd like my F key to always toggle mfx on/off (except when I'm typing a name or something of course), is that possible?
I would have created the action but I would need a "close mfx action" I guess, and there's no such thing afaik.

Thanks

+1, especially as there is already a "Toggle Bypass for Monitoring FX".

In fact, the very same behavior happens with all windows, like media browser or midi editor. Hotkey can't toggle windows. Only open them.

Actually you can, but the focus needs to be the arrangement, which is counter productive. Only ESC works in that case.
So +1 from me as well.

High-- Try-- 41884 and set that to a midi key note-- something like_ midi chnl16 Note#60
Focus does not matter. =)

// toggle monitor fx window.eel

mt = GetMastertrack(0);
TrackFX_GetRecChainVisible(mt) == (-1) ? (
  Main_OnCommand(41882, 0); // show
):(
  TrackFX_Show(mt, 0x1000000, 0); // hide
);

function noundo() (abs(0));
defer("noundo()");

Thank you very very much for trying EpicSound !!
But your script doesnt close the mfx chain when its focused
Anyway to close it whatever is focused ?
(otherwise its annoying to me as the key i have to press to close the chain varies...)

Shortcuts that contain ALT or CONTROL will pass through the FX windows, if they are not already being used for something else there, like CONTROL+S for example. So ALT+F would work, but not unmodified F. At least that's how it works here on Windows 7 x64.

True, modifier keys pass thru. I would welcome it, if we had the possibility to decide, if a shortcut is a global shortcut.
I use the transport controls very often, while having the FX window open, however, I cannot use it, because the keys aren't passed thru.

Cool, I can use Alt-Home for transport purposes when plugins are open. Thanks!!

You're welcome. Maybe not the ultimate solution, but good to know. Applies to MIDI Editor and Media Explorer, maybe some other windows too.
