a bit embarrassed question : Quickest way to show a loaded plugin

[cowby]

Hi,

So I have been using Live + push 2 for more than 2 years. But I don't know a quick way to show a loaded plugin.

IN session view, I need to move down the mouse cursor to "Device title bar" and then press the "show hide plugin window" (please see the attached pic). Similar things happens in arrangement view. Is it the only way to show the device ? Anyone can help provide a quick way like short-cut key for this ?

Regards!

Shift+TAB switches what's visible at the bottom, so while pressing it you can use the other hand to already travel to where the plugin device will show up. There's no dedicated button to open a plugin window, because a typical chain can include numerous plugins, so how would Live know which one you want?

The only workaround for me is set "Auto hide plugin window = off" and then all plugins will be hanging on the screen until I pressed (Control-Alt-P). But when I really close it (by clicking the "X"), I need to repeat the procedure as shown in my picture. This workaround only good for not more than 10 VSTs loaded or you have dual monitors.

But comparing to Bitwig, Cubase, Studio one, the inspector is on the left hand side... So I can easily click on the small square to display that particular plugin.

I have these enabled:
- Multiple Plug-In Windows
- Auto-Hide Plug-In Windows
- Auto-Open Plug-In Windows
Then the appropriate windows open and close when I click each track.

Still a case of juggling windows though to see what I need to see.
