Double Click on block in sequencer should either set song loop boundaries, or start playing song from start of double clicked block #841

Open Lykdraft opened 7 years ago

Lykdraft commented 7 years ago

So, first of all:

A double click on a block in the sequencer could either

a) set loop boundaries to double clicked block (<- favourable) or b) start play back song from start of double clicked block.

(I still find it a bit slow to navigate around in a song when arranging with the sequencer.)

And because you decided to go linear with the sequencer we will need global editing tools. Like insert time, cut time, paste time. (These are the most basic ones and are absolutely necessary.) It's all good and dandy when you only have one track in the sequencer. When you have more, you really must be able to edit all at once at least in a very very basic fashion.

BTW: it is impossible to select two blocks via rectangle selection without any free space on the left or right side. Maybe this is an oversight or a bug, don't now. But it should be possible to do this. See picture. If blocks are surrounded by other blocks, I can't select both of them and move em around One block will always move to the lane of the other block and push the other one away.

You can select/unselect a block by ctrl-clicking it.

Also other classical linear sequencer stuff that comes to mind is: play previous block from beginning play next block from beginning and things of that nature.

No, I can't. (neither CTRL nor CMD on OSX, nor any other modifier key.)

Lykdraft commented 7 years ago

Well, it's not only that. But now after trying modifier keys no blocks can be moved at all anymore. So something's wrong here. (Zoom Bar also says bye-bye... Not working anymore.)

Have to restart.

Edit: Have restarted. Still not possible to select more than one block by clicking with modifier.

Ctrl-clicking and moving was broken a few releases ago, but it should work now. Are you using latest version?

Lykdraft commented 7 years ago

Yes. Latest version. Doesn't work.

kmatheussen commented 7 years ago

Just wondering,Is ctrl-clicking and moving still broken for you?

kmatheussen commented 7 years ago

I think "Setting loop boundaries" should be a popup-menu option as it doesn't seem very intuitive or common.

Double clicking to play sounds like a good idea.
