[Rwp] Keyboard sets just a thought

[Matej Golian]

Hi guys,
it's really cool that the master track is finally properly focusable.
In the context of the topic being discussed here I would like to ask:
How will it be possible to merge custom track commands with master
track commands?
For example, f at the moment shows the FX chain for the current track
while shift+f the FX chain for the master track. My question simply
is, how can we have commands that would perform different tasks
depending on focus? Jamie, will you have to develop custom Osara
actions for these cases?
I'm a beginner user, but I think that having two actions to perform
essentially the same thing is unnecessary - especially now when the
master track can be focused just like any other track. One could argue
that having special commands for the master saves time sometimes, but
I really don't know whether the amount of time it saves is so
considerable.
Moreover, if there was no difference between track and master track
commands from our perspective, we would have more room for other
commands.
