A set action to navigate/select automation item by keyboard. #899

Hi: I often use my keyboard to control reaper. Now cockos develop a new function called automation item to contain automation info. It's a great function. But until now, there are only some mouse modifier key to do some specific control on it. So, hope to add a set additional actions to visit those function. Summary are below: action： switch to next/previous automation item action： switch to next/previous automation item from pool action: Select next/previous automation item action: Select next/previous automation item from pool action: select next/previous automation item leaving selected items from pool action: select next/previous automation item leaving selected items Thanks!

This can be done in scripts (I got a simple proof of concept working). Is it OK if it cycles only through the selected envelope's AIs?

Hi: I think applying those actions into a selected automation lane is more convinience. Thanks!

vgjh2005 commented 7 years ago

Hi: However, Envelope points of the automation item also need similar actions to control. select/delete/add/edit/switch etc. Or update original item point actions is also a good idea. Thanks!

I finished the script. It's available as "Automation item selection bundle (10 actions)" in ReaPack. The actions are:

cfillion_Add next automation item to selection.lua
cfillion_Add next automation item in pool to selection.lua
cfillion_Add previous automation item to selection.lua
cfillion_Add previous automation item in pool to selection.lua
cfillion_Select all automation items.lua
cfillion_Select all automation items in pool.lua
cfillion_Select and move to next automation item.lua
cfillion_Select and move to next automation item in pool.lua
cfillion_Select and move to previous automation item.lua
cfillion_Select and move to previous automation item in pool.lua

There is no API for deleting automation items unfortunately. For now, delete actions can only be done in REAPER itself. The native action "Remove items/tracks/envelope points (depending on focus)" works on automation items.

Good job! Thanks!

I went to the website and I found "The latest stable release, ReaPack v1.1 released on 2017-01-16" where can I get the updated and modified version? Thank you.

cfillion commented 7 years ago

1.1 is the right version (latest stable). Once installed, do these two steps in REAPER to download the automation item selection bundle script:

Search for "automation item selection bundle" in Extensions menu > ReaPack > Browse packages
Right click on the package in the list, select "Install" and click on OK

You should then find all 10 actions in your Action List.
