I'd like a keyboard shortcut to switch between edits. F3 currently switches to the most recently used open edit - I would be happy if it cycled through all open edits. Ctrl+Tab also does not allow me to cycle through the open edit tabs.

I want to do this so that set up a Project that has an edit for each song (accompaniment) in a set list, and then cycle through the edits using a keyboard short cut, or buttons on a midi controller.

Have I missed a way to do this already? Does it sound silly?

Switching to a new edit should stop playback of the current edit if it isn't already stopped.

I've just been playing with the 6.2.0 Macros - I hoped that it would let me do this, but I can't see a way to select a specific edit tab, or select the next edit tab.

This Javascript method looks like the obvious one:
Tracktion.showEditScreen();

Called like that, it puts the most recently used edit screen in focus, if it isn't already.

I'd like
Tracktion.showNextEditScreen();
which would cycle to the next edit screen in the tab list.

And maybe equally useful, let the method take a string argument for the tab text
Tracktion.showEditScreen('Project Edit 1');
this would bring focus to the edit tab named 'Project Edit 1'.

I would then be able to make a macro like this:
Tracktion.stopPlayBack();
Tracktion.showEditScreen('Next song');

I'd really like that. Anyone else?
