Force Focus on Transport
Hi gurus,
I have some key commands assigned to the transport, but sometimes I'll click on a toolbar or be in some other window and want to stop/play the transport. But nothing happens because I'm Reaper doesn't treat my Transport Key Commands as global (for lack of a better term).
Is there a way to make scripts (like play/stop etc) be global or force the focus to go to Arrange?
Thanks for any help.

Neither, though you could try fiddling with the new window-functions by Julian Sader in SWS-alpha.
You can find a build by him in the Stash.
Maybe this could help you setting focus to transport...

Hey Andrew,
yeah, as a former Cubase user, for me, this is also one of the little annoyances.
I wish, we could define certain commands as global in the action list.
We had a discussion here about the topic. A solution was to use autohotkey, however,
that will only work with Windows and it's a rather unpleasant hack.
I definitely would like a native solution:

You're welcome, I hope we can get this feature pretty soon! It's a bit of a workflow killer for me

I feel ya stevie; same here.
For me THE biggest annoyance in Reaper, since using it 7 years ago.
Just wanna always be able to start/stop with spacebar, no matter what (plugin) window has focus.
I cant recall any DAW i use/used that has this same issue.
Its a real showstopper.

workflow speedbump for me as well
Spacebar should start/stop playback while reaper is running. im having problems trying to configure spacebar to stop record as well. Using my mouse to click the record button to stop recording gets annoying at times. Every DAW or basic application i know, this is a standard function, but....idk

@antezy
This script should do the trick:
Code:
# Start/Stop-Script
# Meo Mespotine mespotine.de
# licensed under an MIT-license
if reaper.GetPlayState()~=0 then reaper.OnStopButton()
else reaper.OnPlayButton()
end
Put a space-key-shortcut to this script. Stops play and recording and restarts play when starting it again.

I created a script exactly for that purpose. But not sure if it works the way, you expect it:
https://github.com/StephanRoemer/Rea...20-%20stop.lua
@mespo: does your script do the same as mine, with less code? :P

Your script creates no undo-point(haven't checked, if mine creates one, but probably) and it moves the edit-cursor to the play-cursor-position.
This happens only after recording in my script.
