Pro Tools Track Selection
By Drew Vandenberg @Drew_Vandenberg
Is there a way to cycle through which track you have selected in the edit window? I'm very new to the program, but on my initial search of the forums I didn't see anything. Thanks for the help! Looking forward to diving in deeper.

hello @Drew_Vandenberg ,
This is a popular way,
//Activate Pro Tools sf.ui.proTools.appActivate(); //Get selected tracks const originalTracks = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames; //Do for each track. sf.ui.proTools.selectedTracks.trackHeaders.slice().map(track => { //Select track track.trackSelect(); //Scroll track into View track.trackScrollToView(); //Do Stuff Here }); //Restore previously selected tracks sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: originalTracks });

Thank you Samuel. So does this open a search window that I would select the track name from?

No this circles track selection one by one.
Would you like a window showing you the selected tracks's names so you could choose one or more?samuel henriques @samuel_henriques
A window like this?
