The problem wit this idea is this. A lot of the inaccessible areas i npro tools do not have keyboard or midi assignable actions tied to them. So in around about way the only way to do something like that in theory would be to use something like the bones midi translator that will let u translate midi messages from a control surface tint a mouse click or series of mouse click macros. THis would require some time patience and a goo pair of eyes shilling to help you mapp stuff out and test them. So if you got a control surface, and working eyes around and a ton of time, by all means go for it. Hell you may even get some financial compensation for your scripts if you are successful.
