Parameter type-in value and reset value

Open manyfew opened this issue 11 months ago • 0 comments

On most plugins there's always a way to reset parameters. Typically one of the following actions does the job (sadly there is no consensus among plugin developers):

  • double left-click
  • middle-click
  • right-click
  • shift/ctrl/alt + left-click
  • via the right-click context menu

It appears none of the above has been implemented in Dexed. In addition, I would like to suggest the ability to type in parameter values.

My preferred workflow would be double left-click to type in value and middle-click to reset value, but you'll find other users' workflow preferences differ so there really is no right or wrong way to implement this. Some plugins use a modifier+mouse combo for resetting parameters but that requires the use of two hands which challenges ergonomics, hence my preference.

Additionally, I would suggest putting "Reset value" and "Type in value" in the right-click context menu (in that order, and "Reset value" being the top item for easier access), as seen in many plugins.

Thanks!
