Impulse Tracker Style Binding Suggestions?

@esaruoho

double-press will (probably) never work with renoise, they didn’t think of it like that.

LUA scripts prove this completely uninformed statement out of the water.

For instance, Bantai just did Home *2 behaviour, so double-press is definitely possible for something like that, so who knows, maybe it could be possible for Mix-Paste too?

Okay, then also extend dBlue’s script to perform the ordinary shrink and expand actions.

Done. Four shortcuts in total. Expand / Shrink, Expand / Shrink with pattern resize. Works like a charm.
Would be lovely to know what other Impulse Tracker style keybinding suggestions are missing from Renoise. Protman? Will you chip in with your ideas?

Shouldn’t be too hard to attach a keyboard shortcut definition to these functions in dBlue’s script.
Ofcourse the shortcut should then execute the last configured settings or the first default settings if not configured yet.

While dBlue’s script does a lot, it is pattern-centric (not selection-centric). it’s possible that it could be modified to be column-centric, then track-centric, then selection-centric, then pattern-centric, and to have non-destructive and destructive versions for pattern resizing or leaving the pattern as-is, but we really are in renoise native territory here.
