Instantly minimize/hide VI windows?
Is there a way to click on something and instantly minimize or hide all of the VI windows I have open so I can quickly view my tracks? It's quite easy for things to get cluttered on a DAW, as we all know, so this would be really handy...I get tired of clicking on and moving stuff out of the way. I looked through the manual but maybe I missed it? Hopefully? If not, that's my #1 Mixcraft 10 request.

No Keyboard shortcut i'm aware of. Just View > Close All Windows

Put the following code in a AutoHotKey script, it will close all windows when you press F1 (or any other hotkey you choose):mixyguy2 wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 2:17 pm Is there a way to click on something and instantly minimize or hide all of the VI windows I have open so I can quickly view my tracks?

Alternatively, you can simply press "Alt+V" followed by "C"F1::
Send, !v
Sleep 10
Send, c
return
* For the above shortcuts to work, the main window has to be in focus

Hi,
Ctrl+right-click on Change Instrument or FX will close all the virtual instruments or effects for that track.
(Right-clicking opens everything on that track).

Are you planning on introducing more shortcuts? It would speed up the workflow a lot.Acoustica Greg wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 11:25 am Hi,

Hi,
It's too early to tell which features will make it into Mixcraft 10. Thanks for the suggestion!

Re: Instantly minimize/hide VI windows?
Thanks but uh - a what? That's not even in the manual.
Thanks also Greg, but I meant plugins for ALL tracks...and ideally a toggle so I could bring them all right back. The idea is being able to quickly look at the tracks themselves without having to close/open a bunch of stuff, which is PITA.Acoustica Greg wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 11:25 am Hi,

And I second the shortcuts big time, this being #1!
Re: Instantly minimize/hide VI windows?
AutoHotkey is an external program that can create keyboard shortcuts and mouse/keyboard macros, quite easy to use and very useful, i use it as a workaround to add certain keyboard shortcuts that don't yet exist in Mixcraft.
