Default Toggle automation mode - EASY

Easy FR here:

There is already the action: Automation: Toggle track between touch and trim/read modes

Could we toggle to other modes too?

Automation: Toggle track between Latch Preview and trim/read modes would be very useful. Particularly when combined with control surfaces and midi controllers.

Whilst there, toggle states for automation modes?

Thanks

Edit:
My thinking was that if this function exists.. why not fill it out that bit more? For consistency sake.

Toggling does require you to keep track of states. Would that really help you so much ?


My setup is reasonably simple, and uses commands to change the modes of selected tracks, ALL tracks or use a global override. Perhaps it is of use to you, or can serve as an idea to develop your own setup. It uses the block of keys INSERT, HOME, END, PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN.


Selected tracks
INSERT - Touch
HOME - Read
PAGE UP - Latch
END - Preview Latch
PAGE DOWN - Write (the most destructive mode)
ALT+key = all tracks change to the mode

For two modes, Latch and Latch Preview, I have global override keys setup, but I hardly ever use this. I might remove those binds.

This works extremely well for me. I use this all day, mixing dialogue for film and TV. Would this be useful for your workflow ?

Thanks, everyone. There are always workarounds, but none are ever as good as proper implementation - which in this case, seems to me, would be a simple one.

Until this is done(in 2 minutes perhaps?) by the Reaper developers, we could do this with a script fairly easily. If we pop it in to one of the repositories that the ReaPack extension can handle, it's easy to get, use and update too.

Ask around in the script forum. I'm sure one of the experienced folks with 10 minutes of free time can whip this up for you quickly.
