Output Window: Follows Selected Track

By Steve Bissinger @sbiss2021-09-22 19:11:58.657Z

I leave this on all the time so I don't always want the output window focused when I switch tracks. Currently the output window is left focused.

Is there a way, after switching tracks, and after the output window has changed to the new track, for the edit window to be automatically re-focused? To me this seems a better workflow since, if you want to do something in the pan window you're going to click in that window anyway, which then focuses it.

        I'm very new to Soundflow, but is there a way that this could be toggled with a Key Command / Streamdeck?
        It's enormously useful, but I don't alway want the pan / output window open.
        Or am I missing something here.

          Hi Simon. This is a a different issue than my post, but I actually asked Christian about this and at that time there was not a command to toggle a Soundflow macro on/off. I believe this is still the case.

            You can easily toggle that function on/off - not the script itself, but rather, to set a globalState variable in a different script that can toggle the script's "enabledness".
            I'm pretty sure I've already shared that somewhere on the forum in the past.
