ALT+2: Focus on Arrangement (Toggle Timeline/Mixer)

Post by el_camello » Thu Jan 16, 2025 1:08 am

I recently discovered the ALT+# shortcuts. I live for keyboard shortcuts and loved ALT+2 to get to the Arrangement view. However the arrangement view is really two things with two sets of keyboard input options - there is the timeline and the IO/Mixer. Seems that if your where your focus was last (in the timeline or the IO/Mixer) is where ALT+2 will bring when you press it.

It would be nice if you could press ALT+2 a second time to toggle the focus from the timeline part of arrangement to the IO/mixer part. Otherwise the feature is more frustrating as I often end up pressing ALT+2 to get to the timeline to work but since I was in the IO/Mixer section last time I was in the arrangement focus the shortcut just bring me to the mixer.

Actually I would say there are three sections in the "Arrangement Focus" - the locators would be really nice to be able to keyboard focus to
