You’re right. I totally missed it- I didn’t even think of looking in the drop down menu, then I was snide about it to boot. Classic. Lucky you called me out on it.
not really, you have to have the mixer in focus to use its hotkeys. And the point is not to jack up your mixer zoom when zooming around in the project window.
It would ONLY jack up your Mixer window IF you hit Alt-G or Alt-H.
I would be happy to take that chance and would rather take the chance as oppose to what I’m dealing with now.
This issue is not minor. When I’m mixing, it comes up every few minutes. EVERY FEW MINUTES! It is a major pain in the A__. This problem did not exist until 7.0. and it’s still not fixed.
How about if you had KCs that always zoom the project window, and nothing else, no matter where you were in the program? Would that not solve the above?
Create two macros:
Project - Bring to Front
Zoom in
and
Project - Bring to Front
Zoom out
But the FR here should be “Make Key Commands contextual to the window being worked in”
When I was in the mixer and I hit 1 on the number pad, I was now in the project window and I could hit G or H as I needed. It was a perfect work flow… very smooth and efficient. no glitch. no cursing.
Can we stop looking at why we can’t fix this and start looking at how we can?

I like your suggestion, only with having 2 screens, the '‘Project to Front’ doesn’t kick me over to it. I tried ‘Track-Next’ and even though It highlighted a track in the Project window, it still left my G & H over on the Mixer Window.
I wasn’t saying the Space bar should invoke this operation, I was saying that WHEN someone hits the spacebar or the #pad, the G & H should work. HOW that takes place is up to the engineers or someone out there that has a trick up their sleeve.
btw, thanks to all who are contributing, and my apologies for getting so testy, but my mind is boggled at the fact I’m still having to deal with this.
Also, I went to the ‘Bring Project to Front’ gave it a KC and was unable to bring it to front. The G & H wouldn’t work until I clicked on the Project Window.
I tried several times, and I’ve had a lot of experience with writing Macros, so I think the Operator tested it well
Since I couldn’t get “Bring to Front” to function, I’m at a loss… at the moment…
btw, I have to commend you for making the effort to resolve this. Of all the posts I’ve had on the subject, yours is the first to offer a solution. ( not to be confused with suggestions : )
