I got a small workflow problem when using a fullscreen detached envelope editor and working on instruments envelopes in the instruments settings : the editor window keeps the focus, and I can’t hear anymore the realtime entered notes with my qwerty keyboard. I’m obliged to start the song playback so that my modifications on the instrument can be heard but that’s not very natural. Could it be possible to have a small button inside this detached window that simply starts the playback of the actual instrument’s basenote ? Thanx for reading my suggestion.

wouldn’t it be more logical to just allow you to play the keys while the external envelope editor has focus? i mean, the keys themselves have no other use when you are inside the editor, right?
If it’s possible, of course ! Maybe the dev team should take some programming inspiration from the technique used in VSTis editors, where you can still enter notes while playing within the VSTi editor window that is on the top of the renoise interface. I though about a button, because it looks easy to implement, since the button’s allready coded, and located into the sample editor, it’s just a call to it from another place, a very easy solution, but you’re right I would prefer the detached window to act like a VSTi window.
i think so too - it should work like this
