How to toggle VST GUIs using Push?

[Citizen]

Is this possible at all? I've tried everything. I seem to recall this being a feature request a while ago.

Not possible from the api afaik. It's a shame but it seems that the plugin has to be mouse clicked first before it will respond to keystrokes ctrl+alt+p (win) so even if using clyphx to send keystrokes it still requires the mouse click

Only way I have found is by making preset racks

Thanks for the workaround – I'll look into it.

Its SO bullshit re. not being able to launch a VST GUI using Push – so much for 'mouse-free' workflow

Even with all the various workarounds, I still find I'm using the mouse with Push WAAAAAAY too much. NI are way ahead of Abelton in terms of creating an integrated hardware/software workflow – if only arrangement was more flexible with Maschine * sigh *

Question Two: is it possible to re-order the sequence of FX or instruments in a chain using Push?

ie. to go from:

REVERB > DELAY > EQ

to

DELAY > EQ > REVERB
