* Single click on note brings up background MIDI when editing multiple MIDI items This should be performed with a modifier imho because it's really easy to bring up a MIDI item we don't want to edit at the moment. Alt+click adds a note to current MIDI item (when clicking over a background note) but maybe we can have that behaviour for bring it up and not to insert a note. * It seems to be that many users would love to be able to delete/remove a note with right-click when using "single click inserts/removes note", I'm one of them. Right now we insert/remove notes with left-click. I know right-click is a common "show me a menu" behaviour of REAPER but maybe in ME it could be achieved with a modifer because you delete notes more times than you look at that menu and a single right-click is really fast. Please, let's use this thread as an ideas collector. Maybe these are not the only ones behaviours you don't like currently.
Please for the love of god give me the option to remove midi notes with right click!! This is the one feature that increases my workflow 100% in FL studio.
I like what has been discussed so far. Here are a few I would appreciate seeing: 1.) In the MIDI Editor's "Color" drop-down menus, we currently have 'Velocity', 'Channel', 'Pitch' & 'Source'. I'd like a fifth option where the note/CC colors match those of the Track Control Panel in REAPER's main view. Maybe call it "Track"? This would be useful for people that have large MIDI-based projects. I use track colors to organize my larger projects. Each instrument type has its own color pallette (red for strings, purple for clarinet, etc, etc.)It makes it very easy to navigate through a large number of tracks. 2.) I know this is a dirty word around here, but I'd like to see some tools *gasp!* for CC lane editing such as sine, line, square, triangle and parabola shapes. I used these quite a bit with Cubase. They're handy for creating crescendos and diminuendos on MIDI volume controllers and things of that nature. Drawing these in by hand or even using a fader on a MIDI controller device can be difficult. I can't think of a non-tool way to achieve these types of shapes, so that's why I brought up the idea of tools. - Mike
Colors: track is a very good idea and would be my default. It seems the most straightforward way to distribute colors to multiple items. Considered I bothered with coloring tracks, Reaper could be so polite and respect that in the MIDI editor when I wish so. I'd go a step further and call it 'item'. So if there is a custom color on one of the items itself, that should be used instead of the track color. Nevertheless I think it falls into the same category as mikeroephonics 'track colors'. It would be nice if the boxes in the Filter window changed their color from 'source' to 'item' when the latter is chosen.
gofer, that'd be my default too + 2 extra options in preferences or in ME editor menu: *Left-click inserts notes, Right-click removes notes *Alt+click brings up front background MIDI items and single left-click inserts note.

I should have been more specific with the Alt+Left-Click idea. What I meant was that in order to bring background items up front and active, you would press Alt+Left-Click on a MIDI note in the background item one time. Doing this would not allow an adjustment of the note; only bring it forward. Any additional left/right clicks, etc. to enter notes on this newly active item would work as usual. The idea behind "Alt+Left-Click" on inactive MIDI items is simply to prevent moving them around when that note or item is not currently upfront/active. In this example, it would simply act like the MIDI filter does when toggling active MIDI items (the little "X" in the colored boxes). You may still find this behavior undesirable, but that's what I had in mind. If it's implemented, perhaps it should be made optional, and off by default. - Mike
