Very cool! :)
> + new keyboard shortcuts
Grrr!!! This looks like the kludge, not the solution! The solution is to
make more keys (like Play start/stop, Octave change) configurable (via
Settings->Keyboard->Other keys).
> + instrument list and sample list moved in instrumet editor tab
I mean this thing is doubtful. First, do you really need to see the
whole instruments list when editing the instrument? The name of the
current instrument you already can see at the text entry near the
instrument number spinbutton. And every time you can press Alt+F5 to see
the instruments and then back Alt+F3 to the instrument editor. Second,
the list size is decreased. It's notable at 1024x768 and especially at
800x600 screen resolutions. And third, this doesn't eliminate the module
info at all.
> + sample editor tab with new button order
Again, doubtful. I can't see any reason for the buttons rearrangement.
Sure, there are too many buttons in the sample editor. But I think the
only suitable solution is to add the menu (just like the main menu) to
the sample editor and move all features there, splitting them into some
groups (like File, Edit, Selection, Modify and so on). The buttons will
be remained just for most often used functions (and probably the button
set can be configurable).
> + record function integrated in sample tab
Again, do we need it there? The sample editor already remains the
control panel of the hunter plain, and you continue adding there more
features, which can be organized (and already _are_ organized) in the
separate window appearing only if it's required. I mean this is
contradict the reasons of the ergonomics.
> + direct access to normalize button
See above about too many buttons in the sample editor.
My resume is following: only the first part of your patch can be
included in the ST sources. Other parts still need to be redesigned or
even thrown away.
Best regards,
Yury.
