Greets,
I just tried assigning my Tab key to Edit/Track/Height/Reset but the key is not accepted. Would supporting the Tab key be an easy thing to do?
Independent of my preference to use the Tab key, I'll also take a shot at explaining what I'd really like to do....
It would be great if a new Edit/Track/Height/Minimize option would be made available which operated as a toggle between Minimize and "Previous Height". That way, the user would essentially end up with a "fold-like" capability.
Thoughts?
P.S. I just noticed there's a bit of overlap between the contents the Edit/Track and Track menus.
re. Tab key can't be assigned to a shortcut...
correct, I'll see if it's possible to have the Tab key bypassed.
they do not overlap, they are the same menu (as are the Clip menus).
byee
re. Tab key can't be assigned to a shortcut...
Tab alone is not possible, sorry.
the least you may have is Ctrl+Tab, but quite frankly it hugely depends on the DE in charge, whether it has some other modifier+Tab already globally assigned (eg. Alt+Tab for switching across application windows, which is quite usual on every DE...)
byee
Makes sense. Thank you. Any…
Makes sense. Thank you. Any thoughts on adding a Minimize event and possibly making it toggle with Restore? That way, we could bind something and simulate the fold-like operation on a track.

Minimize Maximize
I think minimize/maximize would be more useful and what was really requested.
I miss that functionality too.
Something like:

there's no definite maximum track height, only a minimum and a base/default size, but...
maybe this will help in the meantime: v1.5.7.5git.7aa260

re. Minimice/restore Maximice/restore
First of all, I know you're on vacation and that it's meant to be enjoyed. It's not urgent at all :).
It's not working as expected... but let's go step by step:

I think I didn't express myself correctly. The word wasn't maximize, but restore.
The idea is for it to work like an on/off button.

Your answer made me realize that you could also add a maximize function that would expand/restore the track height to the maximum height of the workspace. This would be useful when using Qtractor as an audio editor (I know it isn't, but... for many tasks I prefer it to Audacity).

I tried implementing the minimize function... but, as always, C++ is too finicky for me. It doesn't accept setProperty like that, outright, as I'd like. However, the desired logic is as follows:
Yea, just to add to the…
Yea, just to add to the energy here. It'd be nice to have a single binding which added as a toggle between minimize and restore. Keep in mind, my definition of "restore" might be better thought of as "revert" since I'm suggesting it to mean "the height set prior to being minimized". I just happen to like the word "restore". Of course, that also implies that previous height (on a track by track basis) would then need to be persisted which may come at too high a cost to bother with. If so, toggling between "Minimize" and "Reset" would absolutely suffice. The real trick here is to end up with a single binding that acts as a toggle so separate bindings for these two related operations wouldn't have to be used.
Aaaand …
a wish from ancient times: marking multiple tracks (already possible) and adjust the height of all marked tracks at once.
But for me https://github.com/rncbc/qtractor/issues/513 is more important.
Rightfully so
