New Tool (3.4) command_palette

version 2.4.0 - palette shortcuts, steps & fixes :shorts:

Following a discussion about possible gamepad controls for Renoise, I’ve made some additions to this tool that makes it better to be used in tandem with limited control devices (the changes are useful with a keyboard too).

  • added a few keybindings to open most common palettes without having to go through the main palette to get them, like selectors for samples, devices, instruments, plugins, tracks etc.
  • for numeric value settings you can now press Alt+Up/Down (Option on Mac) to step the value similar to my my other tool value_stepper, this makes the number based selectors more useful when you don’t have access to numeric input
  • made it so that number setters like BPM, velocity etc. will open a text field popup similar to renaming commands if you execute them without input
  • changed the select phrase command so that it lets you pick phrases from the entire project similar to the sample selector
  • added midi mappings to mirror each existing keybinding (further work is needed here to let midi actually control the palettes themselves)
  • select pattern command will omit patterns from the list that aren’t in any sequence (like if you only use pattern 3, 5 but not 4) since you can’t select those anyway.
  • fixed a few edge-case crashes when trying to open various selectors in an empty project

If you think some other command should also be accessible as a shortcut, let me know!
