Track Control Shortcut? (Answered)

Is there a built-in shortcut or some other quick way (X3) to switch between Mix - FX - I/O in the track view, instead of the dropdown menu at the top of the track pane?

Yeah, I don't think it can be done without a 3rd party tool like AutoHotkey. I am not very adept with AHK but managed to get a working script. I am sure a Windows developer could supply a more elegant solution. Here are the first three options from the Track Control Manager drop down bound to Windows-1 through 3.
#1::
  SetTitleMatchMode RegEx
  ControlGetPos,x,y,,,AfxFrameOrView110u12,SONAR.*
  x += 300
  y += 15
  MouseClick,Left,%x%,%y%
  Send,{Down}{Enter}
  Return
#2::
  SetTitleMatchMode RegEx
  ControlGetPos,x,y,,,AfxFrameOrView110u12,SONAR.*
  x += 300
  y += 15
  MouseClick,Left,%x%,%y%
  Send,{Down}{Down}{Enter}
  Return
#3::
  SetTitleMatchMode RegEx
  ControlGetPos,x,y,,,AfxFrameOrView110u12, SONAR.*
  x += 300
  y += 15
  MouseClick,Left,%x%,%y%
  Send,{Down}{Down}{Down}{Enter}
  Return


 

Well I did not HAVE to write it but the code did not write itself and I did learn a little more AHK.

AutoHotkey is a pretty handy scripting tool. There are keystroke capture routines but I don't use them. In this case I am not sure how useful they would be. The tricky part (for me) was trying to fix the location of the Track Control Manager drop down. That is where
ControlGetPos,x,y,,,AfxFrameOrView110u12, SONAR.*
comes in even though it is not portable between SONAR versions. For example, in X2 the object is named AfxFrameOrView110u13. It still looked liked the best bet for invoking the drop down. But as I said before, this is new to me too. Anyway, it was a good exercise.

You the man, Tak! It's SHIFT + L/R Arrow. My life is better already. Thank you!

Oh My Goodness! I'm in shock. Complete and utter shock. scook gave a "not the best answer" reply.

I fully expect the earth to break free from its orbit around the sun and hurtle off into space somewhere.

Sorry scook, I just had to poke a bit of fun at you. Your depth of knowledge has no equal it seemed BUT I was there when Jlien x got one up on you. You guys are just awesome. Even when you don't know the exact answer you still manage to pull a rabbit out of hat. Love it.

Craig, when I was a young boy I never thought I'd hear anyone use the phrase "tabs through the multidock." And today I've not only seen it, but I know what it means, sort of.
