I know there is a little checkbox right at the top when viewing patterns, and it's great when playing the music, but is there a way to auto trun it off during edit time and auto turn it back on when playing the sing? It gets annoying wheather I do it manually or leave it alway on/awalys off. I'v looked through the menus and options but can't find anything like it. Where can I find it?

Thanks,

There is no such thing as "editing vs playing" in modplug like it used to be in f.e. Impulse Tracker. Hence, there is no "turn it off during editing, turn it on during playback" in modplug either. However, you can bind a shortcut to it if that helps.

As Jojo says, you can get it to work with shortcut keys. If you use keys to play and stop the song, then you could use the key up and key down event to set the scrolling function too.

Eg: on key F5 = play song
off key F5 = scroll on

on key F8 = stop song
off key F8 = scroll off.

This is not XMPlay, so only one action per key, sorry. :P
You'd need a third key for that.

Is that not what Scroll Lock is for? :lol:

Are you sure? I mean... I have configured this in OpenMPT to be able to toggle the treeview AND the toolbar at once by hitting alt-F11

On press key Alt-F11, the treeview toggles, on release key Alt-FF, it toggles the toolbar.

Ok, that actually seems to work if you assign the shortcuts in the right order. Tricky, tricky!
