Feature request: Have shortcuts work in big cue window

[madskjeldgaard]

The amazing shortcuts curently only work in the main gui window. It would be amazing if they were also registered in the big cue info window as well!

Hello,

I had a similar request at #8 so you can find a solution on that thread.

But maybe this is a more common scenario than I thought. Is it that you are using CuePlayer to compose but you are also the performer of the piece? Why is focusing on the main window not an option?

[madskjeldgaard]

Focusing on the main window is definately an option and I wouldn't want the shortcuts to extend beyond the cueplayer's gui windows. Having them work in the big cue info window is mostly a question of laziness and to avoid confusion when sitting down to perform. I am the performer in this instance, yes. And also, it's a bit because the big cue info window is the one that is in focus when you start the cueplayer gui and get ready for a performance and it would just for me at least be a tiny thing that might reduce stress by 0.001% but it's also not a big issue :)

That is interesting. I wonder if the fix here should just be to keep the main GUI in focus after starting the large window. Will have a think. Thanks for the submission 🙂

I had a quick look at this so that I make the main GUI window retain the focus after opening the large window (which I think makes sense as a default) but .front does not work. Might be because of this bug: supercollider/supercollider#4489 . As far as I can tell when that bug is fixed the main window will have focus. For now the solution suggested above at #8 should do the trick.

Thanks for looking into it @dathinaios
