Redirect ableton keystrokes to VSTs.

Some of my VST's require use of the keyboard occasionally, but Ableton is not forwarding any of the keystrokes.

I can't undo, redo, copy, paste, search in any of my VST GUI's because of this.

Does anyone else find this? How are people working around it.

I find this problem with Reaktor inside Live when programming ensembles.
There's no way of entering numbers and object names/labels in Reaktor when running under Live's control.
My solution is simple: I launch Reaktor inside of Energy XT2 instead of Live for programming ensembles. Works fine!

Or you can put

-_EnsureKeyMessagesForPlugins

in your options.txt file
