Default Slate Batch commander can "view PAN automation line" - is it a trick?

I also want to jump via shortcut directly to PAN automation of my track. I hate going first to left side to the automation drop down menu. There's an eucon command to tap forward through that list in fact. But a dedicated shortcut I would much more appreciate.

Quite a few of the Slate shortcuts are tricks based on mouse click automator workflow macros.
You can achieve similar with Keyboard Maestro or similar using small pictures of different areas of the PT gui to direct where the mouse clicks.

You can program keystrokes to open plugins and auxes in all 5 slots and the pan line etc, very useful.
It relies on keeping the same Pro Tools mix page layout and size as does Slate.

There's no way to get to the pan line without using a macro like that AFAIK.

That means, even the SlateShortCuts takes some while to process? With KM key-chains or mouse-key it can take a while, till it finished.
Also the KM mouse feature is not the best to me, I shot a screenshot from the OSX red circle means closing window for KM to close it via shortcut, but after upgrading to Sierra, they changed the graphic. Now KM can't find it, the shortcut is useless (also others). It's not a fault by KM, but to reset all changes after simple upgrading - hm, immo not what I wanna do.

How often do you upgrade? Small price to pay for the convenience it gives for every day use, imho.

BTW, you can toggle through the automation lanes by hitting ctrl+cmd+arrow left/right.

Yes, you have to upgrade the screenshots now and again, its annoying, but I agree small price to pay to not have to mouse around.

A simple mouse click shortcut in KM takes half a second or less, not a deal breaker for me.
