4 years ago Sounds reasonable! I am thinking of a clause in the "rc" file that lets you specify what buttons automatically get pushed in the pattern editor when it first comes up. If you think that makes sense, I will implement it in Seq66, test it out, and backport it to seq64's Gtkmm and Qt interfaces.

Hello! First, thank you so much for your work on Sequencer64, amazing improvements to the already great and venerable Seq24! I've followed closely the development of the midi control output to use with my Akai APC Mini - awesome. The only think I miss now is to easily record a midi pattern in an empty slot without too much fiddling with the mouse or keyboard, as in a live setup.
My ideal feature would be e.g.
1. when an empty pattern is selected (on the control surface) 2. to automatically open the pattern editor 3. automatically activate Dump Data to MIDI Bus 4. automatically activate Midi pass-through 5. automatically activate Record Midi data 6. automatically set Merge to Expand the sequence to fit recording 7. and manually select the midi output to the synth.
How easy/difficult would it be to implement keyboard or midi shortcuts to these buttons (steps 2 to 6), or preset them for every new pattern editor?
Alternatively I am considering automation with mouse clicks emulation through xdotool, but that would be very dirty and not robust. I've been switching a lot between seq64 and Luppp, and even though I use only midi instruments and virtual synths Luppp allows me to focus much more on the music rather than the software - but limiting the further correction of sequences or recording of a track based on the loops like Seq64 can do.
Looking forward to any suggestion! Thanks
