Reaper > Toggle Midi Editor on Selected Item

[Sloan]

I'm finally getting around to trying to actually improve my workflow in reaper with more shortcuts etc.

I use a presonus faderport and there are some unused buttons. I would like to set a button to toggle the Midi Editor on/off for the selected midi item.

For example, I can select the midi item, then just press that button to open it up in the midi editor. This would save the step of right click > open item in midi editor and i could toggle it on/off quickly.

I looked through actions but I can not find anything about opening the midi editor.

Mine is setup so that you can double click a media item to open its midi editor. I believe I set it up through preferences. Also did you try "item: open in new MIDI editor" in actions?

"item: open in new MIDI editor" in actions?

yes, that's what I was going to suggest.

lol shit, i searched through the actions list and didn't even see that one...
I used to have the double click set to do it, but switched it to set the time selection. I use the time selection record mode a lot and this lets me setup new takes for a specific part quickly.



ok that opens it, but now i gotta figure out how to close it with the same button again.

hell with it, i just went back to double-clicking to open them. thanks for the help anyway y'all.

"View: toggle show MIDI editor windows"

Just use the filter in the actions list and type in "midi editor" and you'll find everything dude.

Edit: Nevermind that action is fucked. Bug alert.
