Default Open FX windows near where the FX is clicked.

It would be a huge improvement to have an option to open FX windows based on the mixer position where they are clicked.
My mixer is docked in the bottom right and it's super annoying to have every FX window open in the top left which is as far away from the desired location as possible.

When a user opens an effect window, chances are they intend to interact with it and the window should (optionally) open where it's clicked with the minimum mouse distance required to edit it.

An option to have a shared position for all FX could also work, that way only one FX window needs to be re-positioned to the desired location and all others would open there regardless of their previous (or default) position.

Thanks!

Did you try the right click on FX button "trick"?

I don't know that trick, but will see what it does.

EDIT: That just seems to bring up the FX menu, I'm wanting existing FX to open near the mouse click.

Doesn't seem like it. :/
It's always bothered me, but after opening hundreds of windows per day to manually enable auto-bypass + getting a 4K monitor hasn't helped.

As a workaround I created a screenset with the mixer docked bottom right with the height near the top of the screen and switch to that when I want to modify a bunch of plugins, but I really hope this gets improved.
