    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?

                    A window like this?
