Add ability to filter directly on the Event View - Minor

[Terry Kelley]

Minor request. It would be nice to be able to filter the Event View directly from that window. Yeah, I know I can click on View->Select but it would be nice to have it directly on the Event View.

You could bind a key just for the Event View, e.g.:

You can click on View in the Event View to select the >>viewing<< filter.  But it sounds like you want an editing filter:

Just did a quick test with some midi events in something I was working on. 

(1) While in the Event View, I did Ctrl+A to select all events.

(2) Then I used the E shortcut as Mark suggested but to the Global Binding > Select events meeting certain criteria function (which brought up the Event Filter while in the Event View).

(3) I unselected everything in the Include column of the filter except for [x] Note and set the Note range for  C0 to Bb3.

Maybe there are other ways, too?  If so, here's another one.

Ah ha! See I tried finding Select in the shortcuts some time back and couldn't find it. I assumed it wasn't available. A quick look in Global and there it was. Thanks guys for helping.  It saves a lot of motion.

You can formally remove my demand.

Just to clarify, there is no "Event View" per se.

There's Event List (Menu Bar>Views), Event Inspector (Control Bar), Event Manager (Event List>View), and Event Filter (Menu Bar>Edit>Select>By Filter...).

"Event View" could be any of those w/o pics to verify... so Thanks for the pics.

Ahem . . . as long as we are being "precise,"  "File" is the first item on the Menu Bar; Views is the second item on the Menu Bar.

The feature request was over a year ago and I seem to recall (1) understanding Terry as referring to the Menu Bar > Views > Event List when he said "Event View," (2) understanding Mark's response as referring to the Menu Bar > Views > Event List when he suggested setting up a keyboard short-cut [technically a key binding, I suppose] for Event List View > Open Event Manager, and (3) thinking about  saying something like your clarification (though not to the same level of detail), but I was more focused on showing how to set up a key binding to the Event Filter - Select Some dialog box because I thought Terry was asking for a feature that led to editing as opposed to viewing.

Now I am not sure that my prior understandings were what Terry and Mark intended.  I will have to re-read all of this at the start of a new day, not at the end of a long day.

You can also add keybindings that are specific to the Event List Vew
