CMD+minus can't be used with FX chain window open

EpicSounds · 08-29-2016, 11:42 AM

I assigned "Show/Hide envelope for last touched parameter" to CMD+- and it works when a vst is floating, but when inside the fx chain I get an error.

Assigning the action to a different shortcut like cmd+= is fine. Minus by itself works but you have to click into the arrange view after moving the fx control.

Thanks, fixing!

Similarly I cannot use single-character shortcuts for such actions when FX window is open. For example, if I have the key "E" assigned to "Show/hide envelope for last touched FX parameter", it doesn't work with FX chain window open (or if the FX window is floating). Likewise for all other FX related show/hide commands (MIDI learn, parameter modulation, track control)...

I have to click on the arrange to bring focus to it in order to run those actions ("Send all keyboard shortcuts to plugin" is disabled, BTW).

This is not nice

Can this be remedied, as well?

Hmm maybe at the start of the next cycle, I wonder what trouble this will cause...

Sure - I'd be eager to test.

The big thing is that if you hit a key like 's', for example, then suddenly you're editing your project (splitting items) from the chain window, which is probably not what you wanted.

Maybe we need to do a FX chain keyboard section and then let you passthrough map things... maybe.

That makes a lot of sense and it would help with this request as well: http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=178454

FX chain IS in fact its own keyboard shortcut context, except we don't have the power to adjust those shortcuts from Actions window... so yes, it would be amazing to have this facility.
