Mouse commands from computer?

#1

Is there a way to get the direct mouse-commands from the computer, like "left-button down"?
eg. when you move a knob using the mouse, it also outputs a bool-high, showing you have the button pressed in. Would be nice for recorders when only using the mouse.

So you could switch between recording and playback of parameter automation, by determining if the button is down?
I do not think it belongs to general parameters, the mouse is not the only way to change a parameter, could also be from a keystroke or midi etc... So it would introduce something that is not there in many cases, and behave unequally.
Implementing this would really demand GUI-side plugins, and while I'm interested in that concept, this will not go into the next release, sorry.

ok, thanks for your reply.
For me personally it's no problem as I'm using a midi touch controller, so touching a slider also sends a pressure value which I can use as "record" trigger. But I was thinking about a module for people who don't have this option.
