say you have 2 midi clips on a instrument's track..
try the following..

- switch from clip 1 to clip 2 by clicking it..
- command; select all..
- duplicate or move with cursor keys..

first strange behaviour;
with command; select all; it selects all clips, instead of all notes..

second strange behaviour;
if you first click in the area above 'clips' 'notes' and 'envelope' and then press command'; select all; it selects all notes but you can't move (by cursor keys) or duplicate the notes..

so you really have to first click inside the midi note editor before you can use command'; select all; duplicate or move midi notes..??

feature request;
make midi note editor 'active' after clicking midi clip..

yeah, but then how would you select all clips in the session grid (assuming you wanted to)

a similar thing that i think annoys many people is that you have to have focus in the session grid to be able to navigate with the arrow keys. but they have functionality everywhere else so it's a tricky business
