F2 hotkey does not TOGGLE media properties window [FIXED, in v6.14]

akademie · 03-08-2020, 08:34 PM

F2 hot key "Item properties: Toggle show media item/take properties" does not TOGGLE any longer since version 5.92 (maybe earlier, but v5.70 does OK).
It opens the window, but as take name has focus, cannot be closed again by F2, only by ESC

Its Scope can be re-set manually to (Global + text fileds) in Actions, but in Default state (after installation) it is broken!!!

EDIT 2020-09-25: Confirming that F2 hotkey is fixed (tried now in v6.14). Thanks.

No need to apologize Stroudy, that's very important information that Mac version is not affected.
Thank you.

Broken on 64bit Windows 10 too.

Bumping the topic.

Win 10 64bit, not getting the issue.

So you have default hotkeys assignment (no customization here),
you select a media item in timeline,
press F2 key, "Media item Properties" window opens,
then you just press F2 key again and that "Media item Properties" window closes?

Really?
Isn't "Take name" edit field highlighted (focused) when the window is opened?

Because the problem is that initially the focus in this windows is in the "Take name" text field and so you can type text right away but cannot use keys to control Actions. Only way is to edit the scope of default F2 assignment in Actions from Normal to Global+Textfield).

EDIT: Also which version of Reaper are you on?

I get the issue.
When no media item is selected, the toggle works. When a media item IS selected, it doesn't.
Win10 64bit, Reaper v6.01

Thanks for confirmation.

And yes, no item selected case may be the reason why some users (e.g. HighVoltage) don't observe the problem.

+ Bump

I actually prefer that it auto-focuses the text field - handy for quickly naming items, and consistent with F2 being rename in FX chains.

maybe have it as a toggle option in preferences?

akademie · 05-18-2020, 04:14 AM

Please, FIX it.

Justin · 05-18-2020, 04:27 PM

It shall be fixed in the near future

akademie · 05-18-2020, 05:14 PM

Great Justin, thanks

akademie · 09-25-2020, 09:51 AM

Just confirming that toggle behavior of the F2 hotkey is fixed (not sure since which version, but definitely in v6.14
Thanks
