Default Is this possible via actions?

When you do a time selection and select and envelope if you move the "fader" or knob on the envelope itself Reaper creates 4 points and the envelope is only adjusted on the time selection. I want to this but with the scrollwheel, so basically use the scrollwheel to move the knob instead of moving it with the mouse. I know there's a lua script that deals with kind of the same thing i want to do, but not quite, what i'm going after is kind of the ableton way when selecting and modifying and envelope with a time selection, the thing is, i'm not sure of this requires scripting or not, as it is quite more simple that what the lua script con do.

Hi, welcome to the forum

By scroll wheel do you mean the normal mouse wheel?

I am having a problem making it NOT work in a situation like in your picture. For me, the preferences in editing behavior/mouse related to ignoring mouse wheel on faders are making no difference over the envelope fader. If there's only one track on screen and scrolling is impossible anyway. Or if I do it downwards on the lowest track. Otherwise it wants to scroll instead of adjusting fader.

The behavior is a little different with the volume knob. I reported a bug

https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=196221

about that. No one responded. Starting to wonder if I have some corruption of some kind.

Do you have different behavior? Do the prefs work for you?

Hello! @FnA
Yes, i mean the normal mouse wheel.
I also have the same setting and the result is the same if im hovering right above the envelope's fader/knob.
I didn't notice that when i made the thread, but this behavior is not what i want.
I want this: When an envelope is selected and there's also a time selection Alt+Mousewheel will do what the fader on the envelope does, meaning inserting 4 points and moving that selection up or down.
The other thing is certainly a bug.

Edit: Tried in the mixer panel and the faders did not move, just on envelopes.

Hi. Check for an action called something like

Automation lane: set active fader

and bind to mouse wheel. I think it only works like you might want in trim/read automation mode. Any good?
