Hi, I'm still trying to get inspector commands to work after reinstalling Flo Tools and working only in the provided Flo Tools session template. However, I'm noticing that VO is not behaving for me as you describe. VO + left or right arrow in the maximized Mix Window is not crossing track columns . Rather, VO + right or left arrow is tabbing through each element in the track strip just as if I use VO + up or down arrows. For example, even where multiple tracks are shown and VO is brought to the first shown track name, VO + right arrow presses goes to the comment element and then starts going through the next set of elements for the inserts A-E of the second track. Does a certain VO cursor setting need to be configured for the macros to work correctly?
