Try "D" to collapse the console view.
scook,
That's the ticket. I guess I never noticed that the CV only came up in the Dock and that neither Alt+1 nor the menu View | Track View would have the desired effect if starting the project with the CV maximized in the Dock. If I open the project with the CV open, Alt+1 and View | Track View dropdown have no effect. But if I minimize the CV in the Dock using D as you suggest, the CV goes away (minimized in the Dock) and the Alt+1 / Alt+2 and the View | Track View dropdown again have their intended function. Thanks for the suggestion.
I guess I thought Alt+1 and D were sort of peer priority key bindings, but X2a won't listen to either Alt+1 or View | Track View dropdown unless the CV is minimized in the Dock. Skylight 101 I guess...
