Description:
Introduce the ability to open specific functional views (e.g. Clip Editor, Mixer, FX View, Sequencer, etc.) through actions that can be triggered by widgets or MIDI/keyboard shortcuts.
Problem:
Currently, functional views in Loopy Pro can only be accessed through direct UI interaction. This limits workflow customization, especially for users who prefer hands-free or streamlined control via buttons, foot pedals, MIDI controllers, or keyboard shortcuts during live performance or studio use.
Proposed Solution:
Add new actions to the Action list that allow switching to each of the major functional views in Loopy Pro. These actions should be accessible to all trigger types (widgets, MIDI, keyboard, etc.). Ideally, include the following views as individual targets:
  • Clip Editor
  • Mixer View
  • FX Panel
  • Sequencer Timeline
  • Plugin Views
  • Projects or Settings Page (if applicable)
Benefits:
  • Enables highly customizable workflows
  • Enhances accessibility and ergonomics for performers
  • Improves speed and efficiency when navigating between core views
  • Supports foot-controlled or keyboard-only navigation setups
  • Aligns Loopy Pro closer with professional DAW workflows
Examples:
  • A footswitch toggles directly between Mixer and FX view
  • A Stream Deck button opens the Clip Editor for quick tweaking
  • A keyboard shortcut jumps to the Sequencer instantly during arranging

Original Post:
In the bottom left screen, there are fixed ICONS to change the functional "view" of LP - see picture. I am going to mess up the functional names of the ICONS, but look at the attached picture. An ICON for UI Edit mode. An ICON for Mixer Mode. An ICON for Track View Mode..... all good stuff. These fixed ICONS on the bottom left put the software into what I have called here as "functional views".
PLEASE - All clicking of these ICONS, or if you will, the action to change the view of LP into these different functional modes to happen via UI Widgets. SoooOOoooo.... I can create a button or step or dial or whatever widget, map or bind it to a MIDI foot switch and then change from Mixer Mode to Track View Mode, to whatever Mode - WITHOUT having to reach out to the screen and press these ICONs down on the bottom left. You can certainly leave the ICONs there and let function "as is" - for backwards compatibility.
ALSO..... in a separate feature request, which I cannot find at the moment.... I asked for a new functional LP mode where ONLY the UI is visible, and by this I do not mean the UI to edit it, but the ENTIRE UI....with NO Mixer at all being shown.
SooOOOoo.... if other functional views are created as suggested immediately above; then please allow those other functional views or modes to be accessed or changed via widget actions as well.
Thanks Again for Great Software!!!
