Tab key can't be assigned to a shortcut

Forums

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.

correct, I'll see if it's possible to have the Tab key bypassed.

there's a bit of overlap between the contents the Edit/Track and Track menus.

they do not overlap, they are the same menu (as are the Clip menus).

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...)

I think minimize/maximize would be more useful and what was really requested.
I miss that functionality too.

Something like:

MinimizeMaximize {

  If CurrentSize > MinimumSize {
    setProperty(MaximizeTo = CurrentSize);
    TrackHeight ( MinimumSize );
  }

  If (CurrentSize == MinimumSize) AND PropertyExists(MaximizeTo) {
    TrackHeight ( Property(MaximizeTo) );
  }

  If (CurrentSize == MinimumSize) AND PropertyDoesNotExist(MaximizeTo) {

// Since we can't know what the previous height was,
// since that height could have been reached using keyboard shortcuts, mouse, etc.
// and the user expects it to be maximized, we maximize it to the default height.
// I think that would be acceptable behavior for the user.
// Keeping track height states for all tracks would allow for perfectly accurate behavior,
// but it seems absurd to me to set all that up for such a small feature.

   TrackHeight ( DefaultSize );
  }

}
