Question

It would be nice if undo operations were categorized into three main work-flows. It is easy to bury arranger changes in deeply accumulated histories of mixer/fader tweaks, or plugin adjustments. The entire operation would be much more powerful and convenient if these undo operations were separated.

 1) Mixer and channel operations

2) Arranger and Editor operations

3) Plugins (instruments and inserts)

Two ways of implementing this would be by first having a separate or sub-categorized history for each operational category, and undoing from history in similar fashion to the current undo from history.    More robust and intuitive would be the option to have undo functionality act on the history related to the operation in focus. So in the Arranger, ctrl-z would act on arranger operations, - or -if the mix window is in focus, then ctrl-z would undo mixer operations - or - if a plugin has focus, ctrl-z would operate on plugin-related undo-histories.

There are similar feature requests but they are very vague/unspecific so I felt it worth writing a more complete FR.

Answer 2

Yes. This would be so much useful. I often end up doing undo in mixer when trying to undo something in arranger and vice versa. Having context sensitive undo and separate undo histories for mixer, arranger, editor and plugins would make life so much simpler.
