Track selection in hackey patterns could select track in TCP of Reaper #14

And bring that track to view. Thus while moving in hackey patterns, the arrange would move in parallel and you would always see your edits in arrange.

In short: Reaper arrange view follows cursor of hackey patterns. Scrolling down could even scroll the Reaper arrange to the side, as a bonus.

Good idea, as an option anyway. I will see how feasible this is.

I made it optional (option dialog is not yet implemented) considering that the track focus part of this had to be done in a relatively hacky way (as far as I know, there is no API command to focus one specific track, only to move along them). I'm not quite sure yet how robust it is.

That is why its name is hackey patterns. It seems to work great. I guess there are actions for selecting tracks directly, e.g. tracks 1..99, those might help as well, at least for robustness among those tracks.

Track: Select track 99 ( 41037 )

If you continue development in this speed, this will blow away soon even jeskola buzz, together with Reaper in the background :)
