Collapse (Synthrack) Shortcut

[Astraios]

Hello,
are there any shortcuts for collapse, like "collapse synthrack"? In floating mode, I can hide and show synthrack using a shortcut - it doesn't seem to be possible when docked...? When synthrack is docked, I can only bring it out, but not collapse it again.

(I could perhaps construct a command chain in Touch Portal like: open synthrack --> disable floating  | enable floating --> close synthrack)

Ahhh, as I just noticed, there's no "disable or unable floating" for synthrack in Shortcut Editor. There is for Console and PRV, though.

In theory, synthrack is a one element of the "Browser", where there is also a section for plugins, notes, help, etc. And the "Browser" window is opened and closed by pressing the "B" key on the keyboard by default, if you pin "Synthrack" to the "Browser", you can open and close this section with one "B" key. And in the "Dock" at the bottom of the main window, plugins and the mixer console are pinned, you can open and close the "Dock" with the "D" key on the keyboard.

Saving a custom Workspace with the Synth Rack docked will do this

Theoretisch ist Synthrack ein Element des „ Browsers “, in dem es auch einen Bereich für Plug-ins, Hinweise, Hilfe usw. gibt. Das Browser-Fenster wird standardmäßig durch Drücken der Taste „ B “ geöffnet und geschlossen. Wenn Sie „Synthrack“ an den „Browser“ anheften, können Sie diesen Bereich mit der Taste „B“ öffnen und schließen . Im „Dock“ unten im Hauptfenster sind Plug-ins und das Mischpult angeheftet. Sie können das „Dock“ mit der Taste „ D “ öffnen und schließen .

This clearly shows that there are two independent windows (maybe they belong together somehow)

This way it works - thank you for inspiration

@IgoRr  I don't think so. The Synthrack is practically the heart of Cakewalk. All the instruments are integrated there. This is where the show begins. It only looks like it's part of the browser. They added it there in 2016 (?). In fact, the Synthrack is more closely related to the Track Manager. Sonar tinkered with the Track Manager, and that's why there are now significant problems. I don't have any proof of this...
