    Two requests to extend keyboard navigation:

    1) The method of inserting an effect by dragging it to the left hand side of the track where you want it is neat. Is it possible to get something similar for those of us who prefer to use the keyboard? I think it’d be great to have a keyboard shortcut or a context menu command for the devices in the Map panel that would let you wrap the current focus track in a new group track and assign the device mapping to it.

    2) Does Podium have any control over a plugin editor that has focus? Would it be possible to have a keyboard shortcut (preferably ESC or E) to close a plugin editor with focus? This would be especially useful for those editors that seem to block Ctrl+Tab from cycling through open windows. But I guess the fact that Ctrl+Tab doesn’t work means that these editors don’t want to share control.

    1) The upcoming changes to the group panel will do something about this.

    2) I’ve added “E” as shortcut for closing a plugin window when it has focus. This shortcut won’t work if the plugin uses the E key for something.

    This would be especially useful for those editors that seem to block Ctrl+Tab from cycling through open windows.

    Which plugins block Ctrl+Tab?

    Great thanks! 😀

    Did a quick investigation:

    Wusikstation 3 uses Ctrl+Tab for internal navigation.

    Jamstix 1 has a GUI with different tabs and if I click on one of the other tabs, Ctrl+Tab stops working.

    Krakli’s Gargoyle behaves a bit funny:
    I change one setting and Ctrl+Tab stops working.
    I then click on another window and then Ctrl+Tab until I get back to Gargoyle.
    If I now only change the same setting again Ctrl+Tab will work. Any other change seems to block Ctrl+Tab.

    Cheers,
