Is it possible to program Cockos plugs like this?

I get it that other manufacturers might not be able to have this sort of functionality, or not easily, at any rate, but would it relatively easy, to add functions to reaper plugins like soloing or muting or even panning the channel strip they are on? I think that might actually be pretty cool.

mpl_Pan focused FX track 10% left.lua mpl_Pan focused FX track at center.lua mpl_Pan focused FX track 10% right.lua mpl_Toggle solo focused FX track.lua mpl_Toggle mute focused FX track.lua Install/update ReaPack

edit : Wasn't really relevant to this topic.

Given that we can make scripts like what mpl posted above, there's no real need to add anything to the plugins themselves.

Xenakios, ah you mean Reaper API access from VST (like ReaLearn or Playtime VST). Or from the plugin header (like bypass check and modulation). Yeah, that of course closer to what original post suggest. I just suggested a possible solution/workaround "right now", hope this stuff can help him (I personally use 'solo for focused FX' pretty often ) :)

In Reapers real world mute and solo are just one click away anyway... Grinder

...but not if you have 150+ tracks project and want to do something with tracks of simultaneously opened at least 2 FX (which could be placed ex. on track#5 and track#76).

I'm lost also as to the OP's question... do I not see some example of what 'like this' means? Have I gone blind again?

so the scripts I posted above locate track from focused FX which is pretty close to your needs especially if Cockos would allow perform key commands over almost any window (I posted a today)
