Description
This feature request proposes the implementation of toggle actions and corresponding UI switches to engage or disengage specific widgets within the application. The aim is to enhance user control and flexibility by allowing users to toggle the state of individual widgets through intuitive interface elements and programmable actions.
Problems
  • Limited Control Over Widgets
    : Currently, users may lack the ability to programmatically toggle the state of specific widgets, limiting customization and dynamic interaction within the application.
  • Inefficient Workflow
    : Without toggle functionality, users may need to manually engage or disengage widgets, disrupting workflow and reducing efficiency.
  • Lack of Visual Feedback
    : The absence of UI switches associated with widget states can lead to confusion, as users may not have clear indicators of a widget's current state.
Proposed Solution
  • Toggle Actions
    : Introduce actions that allow users to toggle the state (engaged/disengaged) of specific widgets programmatically.
  • UI Switches
    : Implement visual toggle switches within the interface, providing users with intuitive controls to change widget states.
  • Action Integration
    : Allow toggle actions to be integrated into the existing actions system, enabling users to assign toggle functionality to buttons, gestures, or MIDI controls.
  • State Feedback
    : Ensure that UI switches reflect the current state of the associated widget, providing immediate visual feedback to the user.
Examples
  1. Live Performance Setup
    : A musician assigns a toggle action to a MIDI controller button, allowing them to engage or disengage a specific effect widget during a live performance seamlessly.
  2. Customizable Interface
    : A user creates a personalized interface layout with toggle switches to control the visibility and functionality of various widgets, tailoring the workspace to their workflow.
  3. Automated Workflow
    : Through action sequences, a producer sets up toggle actions that automatically engage or disengage certain widgets at specific points in a project, streamlining the production process.
Benefits
  • Enhanced User Control
    : Provides users with greater flexibility in managing widget states, allowing for a more personalized and efficient workflow.
  • Improved Workflow Efficiency
    : Reduces the need for manual intervention, enabling users to focus more on creative tasks.
  • Intuitive Interface
    : Visual toggle switches offer clear indicators of widget states, improving usability and reducing potential confusion.
