Its a nitpicky thing, but is it just me who finds it annoying I have to double click to create a point in an automation lane? Why not have it as a single click? You halve the amount of clicks required to create automation! Is the concern that we might accidentally create automation unintentionally? OK, then have it as an ALT-modified option.

In fact, isn't it effectively three clicks to create and move at the moment? Click-click, then click-and-drag? Let's have away with click-click, and just have click-and-drag!

I'm lazy, I know. But isn't Live's greatest asset how easy it makes things that are clunky and akward to do on other sequencers?

Well if you hit command-B (on apple something similar on PC) then its in draw mode, which uses one click to add a point, then command-B to go back to the arranger mode....

Seems like theres a few ways to do this already, I dont see this changin...

hang on, it'll do that on the arranger page? I don't mean a clips individual automation - but if you do mean it'll do it in the arranger page then wicked - I'll check it out tonight!
