Please add Disk Browser Focus to API? #124

Open esaruoho opened 6 years ago

esaruoho commented 6 years ago

Is it true that the Renoise API 5 does not afford us control over whether Disk Browser is focused or not?

I see renoise.app().window.disk_browser_is_visible, _observable but, while having this is good, I would like to make the disk browser visible and focus the Keyboard to the Disk Browser.

P.S. Would be good to be able to enter Extended Disk Browser mode, too.

Yes, there is no dedicated method or API to query or control focus in Renoise.

I think it would make sense to add this, not just to a single component (disk browser), but throughout the API, and with granular support in the ViewBuilder API

@bjorn-nesby i fully agree. Having a lot of cursor focus would be really beneficial for scripting.

Such as: focus on disk browser, focus on instrument box, focus on pattern matrix, focus on pattern editor.
